Wood/Tree ID

[Oregon Bigfoot]

One other blow down portion of a tree I cut at my sister's house a month or so ago, I have no idea what kind of wood it is. Can you ID it? I took pics of the tree and leaves from the rest of the standing tree, and some close ups of the wood, that's already turning funky colors. The wood is a slight bit punky looking, even though the downed tree had live green leaves on it, when I cut it a few weeks ago.

Why am I thinking some kind of willow hybrid. Leaves do stay green in willow trees well after they are cut. Just a thought.

Weeping willow would be my first choice as well.

Willow x3. You can stick a live willow branch into the ground and it will grow into a tree.

At first glance I too was thinking willow.

I also think willow. There are a lot of willow species, but this one seems like it might be a Weeping Willow due to the twigs which look very long and flexible.

my immediate thought as well. That's some sort of willow. YUCK!

Willow and let it go. Not worth the effort.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll put it in the burn pile with all the branches around the property. I've got enough good wood for a few years, I don't need to take punky junk. I've burned a bit of willow firewood once and only once before, and it was hard to split, and just not a good btu wood.

This stuff isn't even worth my effort to put it out by the road or on CL "free campfire wood".

I thought the same thing on willow, last summer I dropped thre willows to clear out my back yard. All three were around 48-60 in bases each with three trunks coming out . I put them on craigslist and said that they were willow and free to take for campfire wood. I couldnt believe the amount of calls I had. People almost fighting over who could take the stuff. All three trees were gone in less than a week to peoplpe planning to burn in their stoves. Only thing they left was the stumsp since no one had a big enough saw to cut through. I just had a neighbor roll em to the back of my property to rot away. So its worth a shot on CL if you want em gone.
