One of the things my youngest had to do as part of lockdown homeschooling was find as many of the common species of trees in our immediate area. Within 200 yards of the house we found 17 of the 24 species!  Quite a lot of diversity for a small area.

Bugs have killed many of our white and green ashes and american elm. We've got a few oaks, mostly white and red, apple, cherry, willow, horse chestnut, blue beech (which I call elephant foot), hop hornbeam or ironwood, 6 maples including NA sycamore. We have the odd hawthorn

Prized black walnut for live edge tables

 

white poplar/ Aspen, white, silver and gray birch, linden/ basswood, all related

Also black locust and honey locust
