Can you ID this tree?

Can anyone ID this tree. It was blown down in my yard, no leaves since it was dead. It smelled very very strong when cutting. I’m located in the northeast, New Hampshire.

Looks like a soft hardwood like Poplar or something similar.

Poplar (aka aspen)

 

[TreePointer]

I agree. Genus = Populus.

Would need to see a twig with buds to narrow it down, bur right now I'd say bigtooth aspen.

Tim it's without a doubt 1000% Aspen

I think it's Freebius Beetiuibus. I have a bunch of that...

 

[hickoryhoarder]

Aspen is my guess.

 

[Wood Duck]

That looks just like the Bigtooth Aspen that are common here in central PA.

Thanks everyone! It’s pretty easy to split. Smells quite interesting. Appears it’s going to season fairly quickly given the roots were rotten.

When I made the cut near the stump, I then pushed the stump up and it broke right in half!
