Hey guys, all this talk about Hedge had made me question a scrounge I did about a year ago. In this picture there is locust and mulberry. Can anybody identify the darker wood? 20140909_081704.jpg
 
I would say the darker wood is mulberry also,bright yellow when green,chocolate brown when drying out
 
Hedge. Some of the dead stuff I got looks just like that. The stuff I split up a month ago is already turnin dark brown.
 
I've never had mullberry
 
My first thought was mulberry as well, but it is much different than mulberry when it dries. I have a lot of mulberry to compare it to.
 
That could be hedge. What I have is more orange colored. Mulberry darkens as it dries. Hedge darkens too but not that brown in my experience.
 
Here's my hedge. More seasoned stuff on top. Fresh on bottom. Yours does look a little darker than mine.

Could be hedge or mulberry, hard to tell. The dark piece in my avatar is hedge.
I'd be happy with either one, mulberry is some high quality firewood.

Hedge has very sticky sap when fresh split, like gotta wear gloves sticky.
 
Yeah I don't really care. It all burns. I just wondered if that's what it was.
