Looking for help on identification. Little dump score today. If I wanted 2 cords of Cottonwood, I know where to get it but passing for now!
I agree with Eric Wanderweg - The big rounds are Siberian Elm fo sho. Not sure about the smaller rounds. The smaller rounds remind me of the fruit trees my parents have on their property (cherry, plum, peach etc). Great firewood, if that’s the case!
Whatever it is, it's dense and very heavy. I had looked at some honey locust pictures in the early growing stage that looked similar. Peach looks similar too. I just went for the easy hardwoods I could scrounge. Maybe later in the winter Cottonwood will seem enticing.
If its honey locust it should have a pinkish color to the center wood... But the other wood appears to be elm...
The large rounds are almost certainly Siberian Elm. The smaller sticks look to me like Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus) based entirely on the bark. I'm usually better with leaves, but that thin looking grey bark reminds me of TOH. TOH has a pretty poor smell in my experience. Split one of the little guys open and if it smells good, then it might be fruit wood, I've seen some apple trees that have bark something like that. However, if those splits smell like poo you've got TOH.
Smell on a honey locust to me smells like honey dew... a very sweet smell... if you've ever been around the tree when they pollinate... pretty much the same smell in the air...
