I had to cut this sapling to make room for stacks in my processing area. Im pretty sure i know what it is. Whats your guess? My hand is for scale.
Could either be ironwood or some sort of a white oak maybe. Sometimes it is really hard to tell with saplings. Wait until they get bigger.
Pickin on dem po defensless baby trees...for shame! But I have no idea what variety of rare tree you just extinguished...
normally i pick on dem big ol defenseless trees. I actually felled it with a handsaw brenndatomu & didnt hang it up!
Did we ever find out what type of tree? I don’t know bark as well as I know leaves, but hop hornbeam sounds reasonable.
I thought it to be elm, but based on what ive seen on FHC i think its hop hornbeam/ironwood mrfancyplants . Sometimes its hard to get an answer, but i try!
It certainly looks like the hop hornbeam I've got around here. Gasline rep told me they'd shred those up for me , says.. "Those'll dull your chain in a heartbeat." I tell him.. "No problem, I can sharpen em up again." I'll be certain to harvest all of the ironwood that'll be affected.
