cut a limb, if it is yellow inside - it is mulberry, the yellow will turn rust colored in a short time. The sapwood will be relatively thin and white. Mulberry usually spits easy.
Looks like another Blackgum to me. If you cut the other one, how did it split? I see 'em here, but not a dead one that I would cut yet...
I'm afraid your right. I didn't cut the other one. Just can't see cutting any gum with all the trees I've got to choose from. I still haven't got the ids down quite yet but I'm getting there
Those dark-green, slightly thickened, shiny leaves always jump out at me when I see a Black Tupe. I'm the same way, don't want to mess with it really, but would check it out if one fell in the yard. I saw a trunk of a small either Sweet or Blackgum when I was cutting behind my SILs'; I may throw that on the heap for them to split, and watch to see what happens.

All the different mulberries have small serrated teeth on the edge(margins) of the leaves. If you are out hunting for mulberry look up when they flower.
I saw a red tractor in the pic, what is it?

Mulberry is great wood to burn. Once seasoned it is awesome. I the same family as Osage orange (hedge).
