Another Tree I.D.

Help me out here tree experts!

 

looks like some kind of fruit tree??

 

Looks like an ornamental cherry.

 

yup, cherry. If it has a wound, does it ooze this jellylike mass?

 

Cherry trees any good for firewood? Tree is on my property that I bought about 6 months ago and is on its way out. Half the tree didn't leaf last year, the half that is leaning towards my house

 

Haven't noticed but will look for it

 

I was also gonna say cherry, maybe "white cherry" or "choke cherry" to be exact? Almost has a birch-like bark. We have a lot of these in my area and I have a huge one in my hard that I would take down but my wife and I do really like when it blooms in the spring. One thing I've learned with this wood is that it dries fast, in about a year, but the bark sucks and holds a lot of moisture in. And I mean a lot! Either remove it or let it season for 2-3 years.

 

very good firewood. lots of ash though.
good for smoking meats too.

 

That looks like a fun one to cut. It's not very often I get the chance to cut yard trees.

 

X2, my thoughts as well.

 

Welcome to the forum NBNH. Definitely cherry as others have said. I have one just like it in my yard as well. I’m also in CT. What part of the state are you in? I’m just south of Hartford.

I'm just north of New Haven

 

Always nice to have another New England join.

Welcome!

 

While I’ve got you all here, here’s another one! What am I working with here?

 

Some of it is red oak. Not sure about the lighter colored wood.

 

I think the lighter colored wood looks like Maple that's going pre punky in the middle.

 

It looks just like Greg's pin oak.
Picked up a nice load of pin oak tonight

 

I would say pin oak

 

I agree with woody5506
