Is their a place to help identify trees?

[BamaSmokin]

I've done some searching but can't find what I'm looking for. I've also seen a few apps but none have good reviews. I see wood all over the place it seems but never know what kind it is. Plus everyone around here seems to think they know everything about trees but have found much of what they know to be false. Just wondering if theirs a site or something that could help identifying wood. Especially by bark.
Thanks in advance.

You'll need to scroll down to find the common name of the tree you are looking for, it will be helpfull if you know what taxanomic family that the tree is in, it will speed things up.

Family "Juglandaceae"- Hickory and pecan
Family "Fagaceae"- Oak
Family "Fabaceae"- Mesquite
Family "Aceraceae"- Maple
Family "Rosaceae" - Fruit trees
Family "Betulaceae"- Alder
Family "Oleaceae"- Ash

Some of these are grouped together on this site for easier use-

Bark alone is sometimes useful in IDing a tree, but you should also try to find a leaf, leaves are usually more helpful than bark alone.

If you have a smart phone i was just reading that there is a app for help with ID'ing trees.
