No one identified your first tree. It looks like a blackgum.
A blackgum, a sassafras, a sumac and a mullein walk into a bar. All of them drink too much and each begins bragging about themselves. The blackgum says, "I'm one of the best deer snack trees around. Deer love me so much that they will stand on their hind legs and bite my leaves. Plus, I produce a big berry that is used by lots of wildlife."
The sassafras looks confident and says, "That's nothing - people love me so much that they make tea from my roots. I am an icon of American history and folklore."
The sumac, not wanting to be outdone replies, "Everyone knows that lemonade is better than tea. People use my seedheads to make a delicious lemonade, which will quench their thirst. And, I might add that I am a very handsome guy in the fall with my beautiful colors."
The mullein just stares at the three of them for a few seconds and then he replies, "You can go to the grocery store right now and find lemonade, tea, berries and snacks, but try finding some toilet paper...………………."
