About Bark Identifier

In winter, or when leaves are far overhead, bark is often the only clue you have to a tree's identity. White papery birch, plated pine, shaggy hickory, smooth gray beech and the camouflage patches of sycamore are all distinctive once you know what to look for. Our bark identifier matches a trunk photo to likely species and tells you what other features would confirm it.

How It Works

Photograph the bark at chest height on a mature part of the trunk, straight on and in even light, filling the frame with about a hand-width to a forearm's length of bark. Avoid areas covered in moss, ivy or damage. The result suggests the species with bark traits to look for and a recommendation for a second photo, such as buds or fallen leaves, if confidence is lower.

Key Benefits

  • Names trees in winter or when the canopy is out of reach
  • Describes bark types such as plated, furrowed, peeling, shaggy or smooth
  • Explains how bark changes from young trunks to old ones
  • Helps spot problems like peeling caused by sunscald or fungal cankers
  • Free browser use, more checks via the Telegram bot or iOS app

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about bark identifier

Upload a straight-on photo of the bark on the main trunk. Adding a leaf, bud or fruit photo noticeably improves accuracy, because bark varies with age and growing conditions.

Young trees often have smooth bark that cracks, plates or furrows as they age, and shade, moisture and lichens also change the look. Compare trunks of similar size where possible.

Not always: birch, sycamore, river birch and paperbark maple peel naturally. Bark that falls off in large patches to expose dead wood, or with oozing or fungus, points to damage or disease.

For trees with distinctive bark, like birch or shagbark hickory, often yes. For many others it narrows the options, and a leaf or bud photo is needed to confirm.
