Hello All picked up this storm damage today, surly could use your help as to what I've got here. It was very easy to cut with the Stihl 120c, however it seemed very heavy for those sized pieces
It looks like the "Pin Oak" we have around here. I just got a batch that was a bit bigger from of a blow over. I won't say with 100% certainty but it sure looks like it. Either way, it's now Firewood!
It is not oak of any kind. It does not have the medullary rays, or whatever they are called; plus, it looks nothing like the pin oak around here. It does not look like anything around here. I am not sure, but not oak.
I’m not sure but it’s not looking yellow enough for mulberry. That stuff is bright yellow when fresh cut.
That was my thought too, and why I suggested Bradford pear, but I don't have much experience with mulberry. All I've ever seen was bright yellow, like osage orange, but again I haven't seen much of it cut.
I’ll kinda lean mulberry also, recently cut some that blew over. Yes it is rather yellow on the inside, if so it rates high for firewood, once seasoned.
That's what got me thinking about a "Pin Oak". My neighbor just took down a Mulberry and it's in my pile, It was really yellow. The bark didn't look quite right to me either. Only way to really tell is see the leaves.
A mulberry tree usually grows a little crooked, maybe midsize + at the most. Not all mulberry trees produce the fruit, so you can’t really tell by just lack of fruit, mid Summer.
