I went today and cut a load from the score i procured Monday. Wood Score Makes for a Cheerry Monday! It was mostly cherry, mulberry and two mystery woods including this. While cutting i thought it was apple based on the bark. Upon splitting one of the bigger ones I discover "ingrown thorns" Ive seen pics of this on here in the past and believe this to be honey locust. It was tougher to split. Used the Isocore on most of it despite smaller diameter. Whaddaya say FHC? Is this honey locust? If so, a first for me.
Did a search on ingrown thorns in trees. Looks like you found some honey locust Always pulling the rabbit out of the hat
I'm in a different part of the country, but that doesn't look like the honey locust in my area. Looks like apple to me. Modern apple trees that have been hybridized for use in the landscape or in orchards do not have thorns. To see apple fruit trees with thorns, it is necessary to look in the wild. Older apple trees growing in forests or other protected areas are likely to have thorns. And as you already know when you burn it you'll be able to tell.
Our honey locust bark looks a lot different. I also find honey locust to split very nice. I wonder if it is some sort of Hawthorn?
Doesn't look like Honey Locust that I'm familiar with. I have seen Apple wood that looks like that, complete with the thorns inside. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
I couldnt identify a hawthorn if it was in front of me. Ive heard of it on here, but must be scarce around here. Heres a pic of the trunk i left behind. I had a mulberry log propped on it to buck. Left the log as it was too knotty.
Thorny kinda apple me thinks but if hawthorns sprout them inside going with that either way... not familiar with hawthorns though.
Not really all that common around here buzz and the ones i do come across the thorns are higher on the tree? I dont go outta the way for the tree as they always seem to be in a very rocky place which the bike and trailer tires dont like much. They are a very hard wood which were used for hockey sticks up in Quebec.
