I was told that C was poplar. It feels less dess than I would expect for oak. I believe the mulberry. I was hoping that's what it is. I burnt a mulberry at my parents when I was a kid and my chore was to procure wood. Took advantage of a storm and chopped that bad boy up. Super heat with the mulberry and beautiful flame. It's a shame that tree sucks to have in your yard...unless it's in the woodpile lol

I hand split about a cord during the quarantine! I ran out of wood to split, got more and ran out again. I will have to go back out lol. Need more wood!
 
1 - definitely Ailanthus
2 & 5 - mulberry (2 definitely, 5 probably)
3 - ? Norway maple ?
4 - ash (based on bark and splits like it)
 
I'm glad you guessed the tree to heaven. It stinks like crap and told my wife I thought it might be. Thank you for the input
 
The yellow\green stuff is mulberry. The rest looks like oak, except for the last pic.
I'm down with the Mulb, but I see no Oak..

I don't see Tulip Poplar like we have here, but could be true Poplar (Aspen) I guess.

If you're hankerin' to split some wood, pay me a visit. I can keep you entertained for a while. ==c

Maybe some other kind of Ash I haven't seen..Green or Black? I've only come across White here, and it sho' ain't that.. o_O
 
I'm a little worried about the Ailanthus...anyone know how that burns. I hope I didn't waste my team. That wood stinks. Literally smells. .

2. Mulberry
3. ? looks like a maple to me
