Tree ID, it Fooled Me!

NO. Bad wording on my part. Ill give you guys a clue....its not a softwood!

 

Amazing how different the two trunks look!

 

At first I though tulip poplar or eastern cottonwood, then maybe sassafras, but could that also be a chestnut oak? The bark is reminiscent of one.

 

It’s Brad the BL whisperer and it’s has thick chunky bark

 

White oak

 

I've had it a couple times in the winter from loading the stove.

 

Chestnut or black oak.

 

I'm going with BL. Poison ivy, vines, probably a thorn bush somewheres close = BL

 

Reminds me of Cucumber magnolia

 

I’m going with chestnut oak.

 

The bark sure looks like cottonwood but if it's been dead a couple of years it should've broken up more from Isaias. Cottonwood falls apart pretty quick once it's dead.

 

I dont think ill ever say that on here again!

 

I really didnt want it beforehand as i thought it was something else. Once i debarked part of it i was really surprised. In a way i sort of still dont want it, but he wants it down.

 

Im itching to get THAT poison ivy!

 

The bark is loose enough so when i buck rounds it'll come off with the bark.

 

I had

that thought myself, but could it be possible that a black locust could be sitting in plain sight of the black locust connoisseur And he not know it

 

That vine is big enough to buck then split and stack! Who knows? Maybe the black locust has a new competitor! Let us know how it burns

 

This is a good point. I had one die behind the house and it didn’t take more than a couple years.

 

I’ve never seen a cottonwood so y’all have me at a disadvantage.

 

You’re not missing anything Jason! Nothing to be jealous of
