Mulberry?

Is this mulberry or possibly hedge? After cutting into rounds my gloves got sticky and the sawdust was a bright yellow. After splitting, the heartwood was yellow with white sapwood. After about a day the yellow started turning a tanish color. The splits were extremely heavy and dense. Any ideas would be great.

 

Have leaves?

 

No leaves, but this is a larger section of the tree. I've never seen this kind of wood given away for free here in St. Louis. I know it looks similar to locust, but the characteristics aren't what I've experienced in the past with locust.

 

Mulberry.

 

Here's the Mulberry from my neck of the woods...burns stupid hot and really long.

 

That looks pretty spot on to what I have Rangerbait.

 

Looks like Mulberry to me

 

That's mulberry. Hedge is a little more neon and dries brownish gold, mulberry dries hawkeye gold.

 

Mulberry for sure

Here's some I had out of a fencerow this spring

Then the same little bit exactly 2 weeks later, beautiful color

 

Agree on Mulberry. Grab all you can, great firewood!

 

Thanks to everyone for the pics and info.

 

I think it might be Mulberry

 

I think I got some mulberry, too, from the dump. The leaves look right.

 

Thanks for the confirmation!

 

You need to smoke over it!

 

I agree. It could just be the color balance on my monitor, but that first picture does look more like hedge than mulberry. Too vibrant is a good way to put it.

 

Yeah I would definitely love to try that but I would just need to get a couple small trees and let em grow.
