I have not heard of the Cork Tree. But Ailanthus, that I have heard of. I've read that it's considered a weed, and it is the tree referred to in the title of the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." Barry

The NY Bot. Gard. is aggressively removing these guys, along with the ailanthus, and others. This is great, because I can compare the other trees that y'all guessed with this tree to see the similarities and then further refine my id text. Thank you so much! Gotta figure out a prize. We planted 500 saplings in the fall so I I'll name one for you and send a pic?. White oak, black oak, white ash, spicebush, sassafras, red maple, and a few others I can't remember. Hopefully they will establish themselves in the spots where the cork, ailanthus and the other tree have been removed. So great to get this feedback .And I figured out a better way to post pix so you can see the previous posts with the current. (That may not make any sense....!)
