Another tree ID

pulled it out of my swamp. Thinking some type of maple

 

Butternut?

Apple, maybe?

 

It was long and straight like a maple so didn't consider apple. Will check out the branches when I go back out there Friday

 

It looks similar to the Kentucky coffee tree I cut last year.

Kentucky Coffee Tree

 

Kind of looks like what I posted still don't know for sure.

Looks a lot like the red elm I cut... I don't remember that much white sapwood though...

 

Looks exactly like it

 

^^^^this

 

I've never even heard of that tree, so I'm almost positive it ain't around here. Unless someone brought one up from Kentucky, you guys have a lot of trees down south that just don't grow here.

It does look like this wood somewhat, hard to tell what it is from the pic though.

 

It does kind of look like a Kentucky coffee tree but the bark also kind of looks like a White oak.

 

My vote is Black Ash. Grow along the edge of swampy areas around here. Never noticed any really big ones, usually about the size you have there.

 

Red Elm.

 

It came off the edge of a swamp just like yours did .
I am going to go out this spring and see if I can find some more of these trees and ID them from the leaves.
Very tight grain, bark is similar to WO but has a greenish tint. I also thought it could be some type of Oak ??????

the Kentucky Coffee I got last year didn't really look like that, it was closer to a honey locust look but felt way more solid/dense, despite having a lower BTU rating. Really nice looking wood.

 

Same thing I was thinking.

Googled it again and came up with Black Ash

Virginia Tech Dendrology

black ash Oleaceae Fraxinus nigra Marsh. symbol: FRNI
Leaf: Opposite, pinnately compound, 7 to 11 sessile, serrated leaflets, whole leaf 10 to 14 inches long, dark green above, lighter below with tufts of brown hair.
Flower: Species is monoecious or with separate male and female trees; female flowers in loose panicles; males in tighter dense clusters, both appear before the leaves in early spring.
Fruit: Samara with a wide wing and an indistinct seed cavity, 1 to 1 1/2 inches long, borne in hanging clusters.
Twig: Stout, light brown to gray, opposite buds are nearly black, first lateral buds appear some distances below terminal, nearly circular leaf scar.
Bark: At first smooth, but becomes scaly to corky, gray-brown.
Form: Small to medium sized tree reaching up to 40 to 50 feet tall, usually with a slender crown.
Looks like: green ash - white ash - blue ash - boxelder

At least I will know what leaves to look for.

 

That's a great site, I use it alot, along with the tree I.D. book a secret Santa sent me a couple years back
