I really am stumped!!!!! I have cut chinese oak that looked similar to these pics. Also the bark and crook look like locust. The sap wood and grain look like cherry but the bark is way to wavy. Maybe its a hybrid cherry. I don’t know .
Seeds look about right. Locust pods are long and flat. According to the docs, the clue for blue ash is to look at smaller twigs. The stems will be squarish, the woody stems will have little cork like ridges on them. I’ll dig up a picture.
The honey locust we have out here has many more leaves per stem, often alternating, and a deep ridged bark. But maybe it’s different back east.
Over here in PA it called ( burn me untill it wont be burn no more )Great scrore
Honey locust the seeds will turn brown in the fall and drop also known to be a dirty tree alot of clean up through out the year
Season like oak Also you will get longer burns with that locust
G reat score you win the grand prize of splitting it and loooking at it until;; it seasons
There are many ornamental cultivars of honey locust and most of them are thornless though many of those are also fruitless (though burning them isn’t ) I’ve never had the opportunity to cut any up for firewood though I’ve cut up plenty of black locust . like Lee said, the bark and crook sure look like locust. Leaf fits too though seems a bit course for locust.
My dad went to NY Ranger/Forestry school and has a book of every species known to man. It’s about 3 inches thick.
I have leafed (no pun intended) through it several times . The number of species of every tree is unreal. If I remember there were well over 1000 diferent species of conifer (softwood).
Whatever it is cut ,split,season,stack,burn and enjoy the heat and savings it provides you.
