What’s up with this tree?

Not sure if ID request is the most applicable here but ah well!

I took this picture on my walk today (April 4 2026) in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Unfortunately it’s just this one photo, I’m sorry… But what the heck is going on with it?! It looks bizarre!

Live oak???

Live oak???

I asked for a live oak and was told this was one. I’ve never seen one with this canopy. Is it possible they pruned it that way. Does this look like a live oak? TIA

Ash? Florabama

Did some exploring in NW Florida yesterday and found what appeared to be an ash to my eyes but I am just a traveler and unfamiliar with local trees. Compound leaves, 5-7 leaflets, diamond bark. Relatively straight trunk. Giving fraxinus to me but what do yall think?

Urgent - poisonous?

Staying in a house in SE Minnesota. This tree has dropped berries all over the ground and my puppy has shown interest in eating them. Haven’t let her but want to verify if these are toxic or not, if so I won’t let her in the backyard anymore.

Can anyone tell me what this came from?

I found a dead branch in a small tree strip and was planning to use it to make a spoon. After cutting it I realized it looked different from anything I’d seen before and I can’t seem to find out what it is. I am located in eastern South Dakota. The sapwood is very very soft and crumbling but the heartwood is decently durable. It came from what appeared to be a multi stem tree that couldn’t have been more than 15ft. The branches had the appearance as if they grow until they get too big and then bend to the ground but continue growing.

Wood id

This wood ID has been bothering me. I have been thinking elm because it's stringy and hard to split. However most elm I see isnt this sticky and doesnt have these interlocking cell fibers to this degree. Do you think it's elm? Location: Dutchess County NY. Downed tree

I looked online and found something similar called a Kwanzan Cherry, but the one in my pictures is bush shaped.

Thank you for any help!
