I've cut a bunch of these trees for firewood but am not sure what they are, I believe they first few pics are a type of elm. This is some of the wettest wood I've come across, the stumps will puddle water on top after cutting. The bark on the trunk is deeply furrowed and after drying for couple of months the bark comes off very easily.
Pic of the leaves.
Sprout with alternating leaves. Notice the chunk on the right - deep furrow on the bark.
Smaller branch. Some of the trees do not have as dark of heart wood.
This is another tree I picked up. One guy I showed the pictures to said it was a hackberry, but another said it was a choke cherry.
Any help would be appreciated. I can get at least for truck loads of the first type of tree, I hope this stuff burns well because I got about 4 cords of it.
