What kind of wood is this?

Thats a goodie there

 

That sir, is poetry.

 

It could well be a London Plane tree too.
Was it harvested near a river or near the suburbs?

Either way, basically the same wood.

 

Yes it is right along a riverbank.

 

Then you've got a Syc on your hands, good luck splitting that stuff.

 

I have a buddy that calls all coniferous trees "Christmas Trees"

 

In our yard we grow deciduous conifer Christmas trees.

Check my avatar.

 

Does it drop all of the foliage or does it just turn brown for the winter?

 

Nice picture! Is that a Tamarak/Larch? I have never seen a rust orange one. Our tamarak go golden yellow before losing needles. It's hard to tell in the small photo but it looks like a dead pine to me with those colors.

 

Dawn Redwood.

Green 2 seasons. Pumpkin orange in the Fall. Bare in winter.

Got about 15 around the property.

 

Cool. That's a new one for me. Thanks.
