    Finally got into this mixed hardwood pile and forgot what I had in there species wise. Casually looked at the first log I put on the forks and thought elm. As soon as I started cutting I saw the bright yellow chips flying and and then I thought yes, mulberry! A decent size one too.

    Wonder if it’s a Red Mulberry? They can grow into a decent size tree.

    Mulberry grows like weeds around here. I'll gladly trade some nice splits for your black locust. :whistle::rofl: :lol:
