Mystree Logs

Bucked quite a bit of this at my cut today. The guy I was working for thought cherry, but I said willow and after cutting all of it I'm thinking weeping cherry? Your thoughts FHC.

 

I’m positive it’s cherry of some sort. Not weeping cherry, I’ve gotten that before and the bark/wood color is different.

 

I sniffed a couple and it had a very faint cherry smell. My mother had planted a pink weeping cherry in her yard and IIRC the bark looked similar. There was a lot of it to cut. It was a big tree.

 

Bark looks very cherry, do you have any pics of a split?

 

Definitely cherry

 

It wont be split for a while. He may sell as rounds.

 

Maybe it is weeping cherry. When I think weeping cherry, I think of this variety:

They don’t grow too tall and the trunks don’t get very large in circumference.


But there’s another variety of weeping cherry that I’ve seen on occasion that would make some good sized rounds:

 

They let you get that close???

 

I'd vote cherry.

 

I think your first example is a grafted weeping cheery. If so its trunk is a plain straight cherry tree that was cutoff and a then weeping cherry was put on it. The joint between the two parts is pretty obvious.

 

At first glance I was thinking a type of maple but after closer evaluation I'm seeing the Cherry look.

What does the grain look like once split?

 

It was being sold as a round and not processed. I have to work there again this week and I'll split one if still there.
