    The two sources showed no. One was the US Forest Service.

    I didnt check in person though! :whistle:

    You always have to check in person. We have found many plants here that are said not to grow here. I'm talking several states away.

    That and the all-knowing US Forest Service can't keep track of every tree in every state, much less urban areas where who-knows-what gets planted and escapes cultivation.

    Should I start planning an escape from the cold in the chopper?? What’s the range on a full fuel load?

    Oops!!! :emb: Sorry i forgot last night.

    Its Norway maple. I cant get over how much that one looked like ash and have been fooled in the past when i scrounged from log piles thinking it was such. Ive also been fooled by tulip poplar. Look for a whitish fungus in the crevices common in TP bark.

    Good wood if you can score any. Comparable to ash in btu's, splitting factor and drying time.

    Congrats to Eric Wanderweg :handshake:as he gets the helicoptor ride.

    Thanks to all who gueesed.

    Invasive species and maybe only a yard planting in your area.

    When i looked up what states it was found in it wasnt seen in JimBear (Iowa) and Sandhillbilly (Nebraska) states.
