Tree Spotlight: Tulip Tree | Vermont Urban and Community Forestry My map stands corrected.
The one I mapped is called tulip or yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).I think there are a variety of species that get lumped in to the...
It doesn’t quite grow that far north.[ATTACH]
I’m pretty sure that one is actually a Fur.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I tried to cut everything to 32”, so I still have some work to go. That and one trunk left to drop. I don’t think I can split...
I do reference the one with the drying times.. I don’t see tulip poplar on there however. From other posts I gather it is somewhere between...
The jumble to the left is two trunk-loads of tulip poplar.. just sitting in the rain for now. To the right is some stacked silver maple, also...
My dad did teach me how to do it when I was around 16 years old.. I wouldn’t want to go buy a blow torch and then try a first attempt ~30 years...
I think part of it is specialization. I am not a handy guy, but I don’t get paid to fix things, I get payed to to database work and analysis. My...
You got it so you could see what it is like to split but haven’t split it yet? I’ve taken to splitting at our community log dump before I load it...

Pardon the city boy question, but does it mess anything up to have it go out? Or are you just out of hot water when you get home?
Sumac?
This should work out for me. Since this is my first year with the three year plan in mind. Quick curing stove fodder is a priority. The density...
I’m in the mid-Atlantic, so not Aspen... I was just being skeptical that it was so easy to split that it must be skunkwood, or some sort of...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] mystery wood practically split itself. It was pretty lightweight even when sopping wet. Yellow/green heartwood, or maybe it is...
It was much smoother going once I sharpened up the chain. I might have gone a little heavy on the depth finders as it pulls in just a little bit,...
Yup, it looks like silver maple bark. I have each in my yard, so should have thought to compare. I guess i’ll just need to hoard an additional 14%...
Any idea what I am working with? I guess it doesn’t change my plan much. I am pretty good at identifying by foliage, but since these have been...
Silver? There were two trees down.. one might have had a more reddish hue to the wood and was heavier than maple i’d worked in the past.
