    Good candidate for the pole saw.
    It's in the neighbors lot, I think I can get truck and trailer up in there, through his yard, after it dries up some

    Apple is funny isn't it? Just makes curly bark and then as it ages the tree twists like a corkscrew. Theres an apple that is long dead at my aunt's old house. Its something wicked since it looks haunted. No bark and all wood. The trunk and lone strong branch just looks like you took a wet towel and twisted it. Very smooth wood when the bark is peeling or breaks.

    Looks like Apple to me. Best smelling firewood (when burning) on the planet, IMHO.

    Some are better than others! The ones with red/brick colored inside is just rich in flavor!
