    Bucked quite a bit of this at my cut today. The guy I was working for thought cherry, but I said willow and after cutting all of it I'm thinking weeping cherry? Your thoughts FHC. IMG_6876.JPG IMG_6877.JPG IMG_6878.JPG IMG_6879.JPG IMG_6880.JPG IMG_6881.JPG

    I’m positive it’s cherry of some sort. Not weeping cherry, I’ve gotten that before and the bark/wood color is different.

    I sniffed a couple and it had a very faint cherry smell. My mother had planted a pink weeping cherry in her yard and IIRC the bark looked similar. There was a lot of it to cut. It was a big tree.

    Bark looks very cherry, do you have any pics of a split?

    Maybe it is weeping cherry. When I think weeping cherry, I think of this variety:

    They don’t grow too tall and the trunks don’t get very large in circumference.


    But there’s another variety of weeping cherry that I’ve seen on occasion that would make some good sized rounds:
