Tree ID tips for newbie's

Norway spruce

 

Anyone know?

 

First pic, app says Common Pear. Second is too out of focus to get an ID.

 

second does look like honey locust bark somewhat, but the leaves are clearly not

 

If its pear, its non fruit bearing. Often planted in Tim Hortons coffee shop, ornament tree. Second one is definitely kentucky coffee tree

 

This should be a simple one for you gurus.
I’m slowly trying to learn species.
Anybody know this log in my pile?
Located in Southern Vermont and cut not far from here.

Looks like white oak.

 

Thanks Erik, I was think Oak and not Red oak. Wasn’t sure about after that. Now I know!

99% sure that its sugar maple

 

What the hell is this? Looked like this tree is budding in december

 

For me, tree ID is a little more difficult in winter but I just noticed one thing for the first time today: Besides their often contorted timber form, boxelder hold on to their prolific seed pods (samaras) into the winter.

 

What kind of wood? It’s heavy and burns really well. Hot and slow

 

The little bit of wood grain I can see looks like some kind of oak. A picture of the end grain and a split piece would help further.

 

Here is the end grain

 

The split

 

I'm positive it's oak of some sort, and judging by the smooth bark it looks like it could be a relatively young red oak. I'm sticking with red oak family anyway, as opposed to white. Member Chud lives in your state, maybe he can offer a more definitive ID.

 

Looks like Willow Oak

 

Thank you for the help. I have had it seasoning for 3 years and that one split is still heavy as heck. Threw me off.
