Celtis occidentalis
A work of art. Hackberries are abundant here and in a lot of the south/southeast, but their bark is such an otherworldly kind of beautiful. Something about the warty nodes on the bark has always brought to mind architecture like Angkor Wat to me.
Abundant throughout the U.S. south/southeast.

Yes, that is so Angkor Wat! Amazing bark. I've never seen anything like it.
