Walter Reeves on Aug 08, 2012At first I thought it was a Bradford pear due to the angle of the branches but now I believe it's just an ancient apple treeHelpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Aug 13, 2012The tree looks like it has been neglected for years and really needs a good, professional cleanup. I suggest your friends hire an arborist to come out and take a look. They'll have a better-looking tree, and one that they know what is.Helpful Reply

Diane on Aug 23, 2013In picture #9 it looks like there are holes drilled in the branches, could there be a nest of carpenter bees?Helpful Reply

Lisamariaweiss on Sep 19, 2013It looks like a pomegranite tree to me. Does it ever get orange flowers and does it have little sharp edges on it almost like thorns on the branches in the winter when the wood is exposed? My pomegranite tree looks exactly like that but does bear fruit because I baby it! Try aerating the soil at the base so it can easily absorb nutrients, take out any vegetation at that level so it doesn't compete for food, and feed it to see if it flowers in the spring...that will help you identify what it is.Helpful Reply

Shelby24019 on Sep 20, 2013I agree it looks like some type of pear tree because of the way the trunk and branches have formed. But I'm not sure of the looks of the bark.Helpful Reply

Linda on Sep 28, 2013This appears to be the dreaded Mulberry tree. The raspberry looking fruit in the spring is a birds delight and a gardeners nightmare! The birds eat the fruit and plant the seeds in their droppings all over my gardens. They grow fast and have a log tap root that is almost impossible to pull out. Even the little saplings are a nightmare to get out. I have them growing inside my rose bushes and blue spruce trees where they went unnoticed until it was to late to get them out. I can only cut them down every year. I thought it looks some what like a big crab apple tree too, or an old Bradford pear tree.Helpful Reply
