Trees in my yard.

Does anyone know what kind of trees these are? I wanna cut them down and use them if they are usable.

I would be guessing at the names of those trees from your pics. The internet and or your local extension office would be your best resource for this type of correct info on your trees. 

They can tell you all kinds of valuable information on the Native trees to your area and what you can use the different woods for their best intended use. Hope that's of some help, Mike

I'm not sure either. But I can see why you want them gone as they're ruining your fence.

Hopefully they're a use-able hardwood. Good luck.

Tough to tell, there are several leaf structures in the pics, pull down a branch and get some good pics of the leaves. Cant promise I will be able to identify what it is but I sure as heck cant at this point . Welcome to the SMF

 

[churchtap]

Thanks guys. It's dark here now but I'll get some leaf pics tomorrow.

Someone said one of them was hackberry and the other was tallow. Do you think I can use them as fuel after I wrap my meat?

I've heard of people using hackberry, to me all that's good for is fire place wood. As for the tallow I wouldn't use it either. If you read up on it it says the sap is toxic (according to Wikipedia)

First, Any luck with contacting your local Extension Office to see what they have to say about Identifying your trees ?  I would be willing to guess if you emailed them a good pic of a leaf from each one of your trees, their secretary more than likely could help with the ID of your trees. I would start there first.
