There is one in every crowd so I say it is typical white ash. I have burned many cord of it over the years and it is still my favorite (but I don't have much left now).
Looks like ash to me. I believe green ash is the type available in my region. Probably my second favorite firewood. It can be tough to split sometimes as most of it grows out in the open around here. I’ll take all I can get
White Ash vs Green Ash: Identification - bplant.org bplant.org https://bplant.org › compare White and green ash are notoriously difficult to tell apart. White ash prefers better-drained sites with more fertile soil, but the two species often occur ...
I fully agree it is ash. You have a hidden treasure. Stuff dries really fast burns really hot and is what I mainly burn all winter long. And thanks to EAB it’s now readily available. In my area we have a ton of green ash the tree in the truck was cut down in July and was at 32%. If you spilt it down to hand size peace's and get in a good windy area it will be ready in months not years like other woods.
One of the reasons I did’nt think this stuff could be Ash is because I have’nt seen one EAB hole/scar on it anywhere ?? But it’s burning really nice..
That’s some nice clean viewing glass. Whenever I have a nice hot, clean fire like that going, my wife always says “let me put my azz next to that glass!” Always makes me laugh
But when you see the bark starting to flake off like in the picture, you know it has been hit and that is the start of the process.
You better believe it, get as much as you can because it doesn’t last long dead standing! These pictures are from central pa 2016. I won’t even touch a dead ash tree now, they’re all punk! I burned nothing but ash for around 5 years.
