I know this sounds stupid, but I am really having trouble trying to id. the tree. I thought it was a little green apple tree, but then I thought maybe it was a crabapple tree. Now I just don't know. Please help!

look in the phone book under county government--(county name) Extension Service. The Extension Service will be able to put you in touch with an expert; Master Gardener, county agent or other resource.
Another idea is to take a twig/leaf sample to a local nursery that deals in trees. Look in the phone book under "landscaping." Often, large cities hire arborists (tree experts) for their street improvement dept or parks and recreation divisions.
There's a national group that promotes National Arbor Day. I bet they could be found if you Googled them.
If you're near a county or state park, a ranger may have an idea of the type of tree you own. Do you have a garden club in town? a Botanical Garden? Avid gardeners are often very knowledgeable about larger specimens in their region.
We have a Forestry Center in Portland, OR.
There are probably some sources I've missed, but I'm sure you get the idea. Good Luck. Librarian

Take some pictures from back a few feet and close-up on the leaves and branches, then send them to your county extension service. They'll identify it for you and it won't cost you a thing.

The best place to go to is your local Extension Office. The master gardeners need the hours to get certified and they have the resources to do it.

Walk right up to it and ask it's name, its living in your backyard. Seriously, just show us a picture or take a small branch to a nursery. RScott
