Nor do cottonwoods...and while not knowledgeable about NJ, I've seen
few, if any, cottonwoods east of the Mississippi--at least what we know
as cottonwood.

Hmmm...don't know it. Mayhaps that's one of the ones there I didn't
know. Since it isn't a "wood" tree at all, I've never looked at it much
so don't even no the botannical name for the ones we have here. Nice,
attractive tree in a place where trees are few and far between, though.
I'll have to go look it up.
Maybe post a picture of it in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking?

Does it have orangy looking "fruit" in the summer months?

Maple? Poplar (cottonwood)?

Memory could be failing me and I haven't lived back east in more than 15
years, but I do seem to remember maples going from rugged bark at the
bottom to smooth greyish on the limbs and upper trunk.

Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) Very rugged deeply furrowed bark at
the bottom, going to smooth greenish grey. Again, IIRC.
