Back with another tree pic

[Rebelduckman]

Men and women, is this a white ash?

Added:

just dropped this standing dead as well. Bark is completely gone and it's hard as a rock! I'm posting pics of it and the live one just like it that's right beside it

Chestnut oak?

Uh, what if the "women folk" want to answer or give a guess?

That would be fine. I'll reword next time

has the deep bark of a cotton wood

Pogoda tree ???

Looks like the mature truck of a Locust Tree. Do the new braches or shoots have thorns on em?

If it is what I think, they're a real "weed tree" up here. Cut em and they'll send roots 20 to 40 feet out and up pops a little one. Grow a couple inches a day. Ruin a perfectly nice lawn.

Pretty strong if solo rooted, but weak if it springs off from a cut stump.

That's my guess!

Tough call between poplar and Black locust

 

[Rebelduckman]

Pretty sure we don't have any black locust around here. I'm in central Mississippi

So do you recall if the new branches with next years buds had any thorns? They fall off the mature branches but you'll feel em when you're pushing aside the new stuff.

I don't know as I can say for sure what kind of tree that is......Is the picture of the split from the same tree as the bark? The split looks like poplar.

I will say that I would be wary of all those holes. That typically indicates a woodpecker was on that tree chasing something. Usually termites or ants. that could well be why it is dead.

 

[JimmyJames]

I would say it's Hickory.

The new pictures look totally different.....

Didn't see any thorns

Rule out locust, ain't that and that stuffs hard to split. Poplar usually looks different than those splits and even tho it's a softer wood, it'd be tough to get that fiskars through too. Are the rounds heavy and the bark hard to break? If so than hickorys my guess. I'm no expert for trees down there tho

Yea. I think it's hickory. The fiskers and maul just bounces off

OK,... I'm out!

I agree with the cottonwood vote. The other tree looks like elm.
