Apple?? ID..........

Pretty certain this is apple. How long for seasoning for apple?

Not sure if it's apple or not. I was always told that apple was 1-2 years minimum. I cut down a nice size apple and have it stacked up waiting for a couple of years.

Nope its Mulberry.Bright yellowish coarse textured wood with sometimes irregular grain,coarse furrowed bark. Not quite as good as Apple,but about the same density as Red/Black Oak.

Excellent fuel,can be tough to split at times.Well worth it though.Dries quicker than most all Oaks But what doesnt lol

I don't see Mulbery very often, so maybe I don't recognize it, but I'd say it is ornamental pear - aka Callery Pear or Bradford Pear. It does not look like apple.

All but certain this is an apple. The tree is 30+ inches dbh. I hunted the field this is in all my life and the deer are always hanging under it feeding. It is 30 feet tall and has multiple trunks from 8-10 feet up. Those trunks are 12 inches and up in diameter. The wood on the ground was one branch and is just under 1/3 cord.

If it had apples its an apple, but I am use to seeing a smoother bark and darker hartwood.

deer would also hang out under a mulberry tree and that looks like mulberry heartwood.

The size/shape description of the tree also leads me to believe Mulberry. But they wouldn't have fruit on them around deer season. They normally fruit around July or so.

1 year should be plenty to season apple.

That is mulberry. Quite common & can grow fairly large. Burns nice.
It has that distinct yellowish color when you split it. Ornamental pear has
An orangish color.

 

[maxed_out]

nothing wrong with mulberry. burns great.

 

[scotvl]

leave that split out in the sun for a few days if that yellow heartwood turns to a golden brow its defiantly mulberry.
