Maybe persimmon?

 

Looks like a winner to me!

 

Persimmon or black gum would be my guess.... Hard to tell which sometimes.

 

From the top picture I'd say cottonwood. I've never cut it but there is some on my property by the creek.

 

Could it be some kind of nut tree? Are any of the leaves adjacent to the cut from her?

 

No there ain’t no leave power line crew came buy and cut it down. I know some of the tree was hollow.

I'd say it looks like persimmon too.

 

Looks like the persimmon we have around here. The center looks like it's trying to produce the ebony heartwood that comes as the tree ages quite a bit. You guys can have your oak and maple all you want... persimmon blows them away. Very close to osage orange in btu output.

Great score!

 

Thanks for the all the replies. Going to split it this week coming up after drill.
I got to get mommas wood supply built up before next year

It's nothing I've never seen before before. I'll go with my good buddy Eric VW on this one.

 

You're going to want to let that one season for 2 years. You're in TN also, so if you want something in the same heat range that grows around us that you can cut now and have similar, a bit lower, heating properties, get some black locust or standing dead honey locust and enjoy.

 

K thanks for the info ill split it and put in another stack then

I don't see much of it these days. I remember having 6 or 7 persimmon trees on our place when I was a kid in the late 50's and early 60's. What I remember was eating the fruit, yum! You had to watch though because if you bit into one that wasn't ripe ot was like having a mouthfull of alum. A real nasty experience.
