Need help identifing a tree?

[TonyG]

Large tree with a very, very smooth bark. Battleship grey in color, with oval shaped leaf that comes to a point...and the leaf has an edge that looks like a circular saw blade.

That's too broad of a discription.
Any pics of a leaf, bark, or tree pic, itself will help us identify it for you.

With the very smooth bark tip, without seeing a leaf "Beech"
would be my guess.

sounds like beech to me......look at the buds at the tips of the limbs, if they look like cigars then it is beech

Does the bark look ugly and deformed beech

 

[TonyG]

the bark isn't deformed at all...

unusually smooth and grey in color. This is the first time I've run into this type of tree in east central Pa.

I'll get some

pictures.

I'm gonna guess beech. Lots of low limbs?

 

[ropensaddle]

Could be big leaf linden or basswood yes pictures as beech bark
is smooth but deforms near limb collars that I remember has been
a while since I have seen a beech!

 

[TonyG]

most of...

the limbs are near the top, competition I guess.

 

[sILlogger]

they don't alway have alot of lower limbs, and if they do the limbs are usually small. atleast if the tree is growing in the woods. the only tree that i know of that would have a smooth, unfissured bark that is bluish gray would be beech(if the tree is of any size) if it is quite small it could be musclewood/blue beech....they don't get very big...

 

[TonyG]

these are...

big trees, 70' I'd guess
