Got quite a bit of Hackberry dropped today. Will this be ok to let lay until fall? Or does it need to be split and stacked right away?

Hackberry bark in my area looks so much rougher! But I've had hackberry rounds that have been sitting out uncovered/unsplit well over a year, and just split them the other day, they look fine.

I agree.
Are you sure it's Hackberry? Looks more like Tree of Heaven to me. I suppose a young Hack could be smoother?
 
My preference would be to buck to length then stack so most of its off the ground. Got 1.5-2 cords waiting for me in just that way.
 
Dat don't look like no hackberry ta me. Hackberry gotts a real warty bark, dat der stuff too smooth. Naw,da mo I looks, da less I sees hack.

That is 100 % not hackberry.
 
Southern Hackberry aka Sugarberry.

Quiet in the auditorium please! Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner, Mr. BillinTX, with sugarberry!

Wow that does look close, will be interesting to see more pictures.
 
Yep. I believe this is sugarberry or southern hackberry. Looks right from the pictures I've seen. We don't have that type here so I've never been up close and personal with a piece of southern hack.
