    Ok fellas
    I'm having trouble with this one.
    Bark is very thin and brown/orange
    medullary rays
    very wide growth rings

    Was trying to get the pic to show the orange color but just couldn't seem to get it

    That was my first guess. The bark is as much orange as it is brown

    Yep. Mulberry. Extra wide rings on that one compared to most of em I've seen however. It must've been in some very fertile dirt.

    Not sure about the fertile soil.
    Maybe Redfin would know.
    He cut it at his mom's house right up the road from me.

    Edit: maybe down hill from the leach bed or downspouts

    I used to help maintain a rural cemetary in our township. Every year there was a "volunteer day". The cemetary guy wanted all the mulberry cut. Your pics #1 and #4 are spitting images of the mulberrys we cut. But the bark was darker in our case but this was in Wisconsin.

    I also believe that to be Mulberry Tim. If thats the tree I think it is it was uphill of leech field.

    But.... there are a couple family pets forever resting near the stump.

    The bark yes, a bit. But not the wood. Tree of heaven has very light wood.

    Here is some Ailanthus from another thread that is fairly dark.

    What’s a new split look like? But I’d say mulberry too...
