Black Cherry for sure. It's good wood too. Seasons quick, easy to split. Smells good. You'll enjoy it.

I love black cherry wood

Black Cherry is a nice middle of the road hardwood. Reasonably dense, reasonably quick to season, reasonably easy to split.

If there are any large black cherry the timber value can be very good.
