first one looks like box elder.

I think that the first one looks like a red maple, the second looks like a type of hickory (maybe pignut?).

It's a maple IMO, but whether it's a box elder maple or a red maple is hard to tell from the photo.


The second tree looks like a hickory to me, too.

Edit -- The more I look at the first photo, the more I think it's a red maple.

I thought the second one was a hickory and it is really hard too.

The first tree is a wild tree growing in a pasture. Are maples native to SC?

It depends on the maple, but red and box elder maples are native.

What part of the state are you located in?

The second one looks like some type of hickory to me too. There might be the remains of last years nuts around the stump if it is.

I vote red maple and a hickory
Box elder are the softest wood I have found in maple family, they also tend to have compound leaves

We are north of Columbia by about 35 miles.

That's the one weird thing we've have not seen any nuts under it and we have lived here for quite some time.
