    Cutting this afternoon at my "Pro & cons" score and encountered this. Yellowish green heartwood, on the dense side and had an oakey smell to it. Second pic is fresh cut end. Third pic is of small and end grain color. IMG_2614.JPG IMG_2616.JPG IMG_2615.JPG Ran into some back in 2020 and was never IDed positively. Here was that thread. I think they are the same.

    I have some in my stacks now from a dead section from a yard tree I cut a couple years ago. Plan on burning it next year. The rest of the tree is now dead and needs to be taken down.
    The tree was covered in ivy. I cut the ivy to kill it and the tree died shortly after.

    Sounds like you found your answer to your question! Very few and far between here. Trimmed one a couple years ago.
