    Well, after getting it home and cut up I couldn’t resist splitting it. It appears that this is actually Hedge/ Osage Orange. Excited to see how this stuff burns in a couple years I’ve never even seen it around here until now. Going to have to look a little closer now.

    Also included a nice pile of red oak in the background that the county also provided!

    You probably have seen it and didn't realize what it was. Have you ever seen these?

    Ahhh, the yellow devil. I burned the last of my Black Locust stash last month. It was 3 yrs CSS and man did it burn nice. I missed some on the side of the road but have another one staked out thats been on the forest floor for 2 years...
