Is this poplar?

[Kosmonauts]

hello,

Wondering if this is tulip poplar that is what I kind of came to conclusion about. Thanks a ton you guys!

 

[Hickorynut]

I am thinking it is - a young one...

 

[Grateful11]

I'd say yes. Have a photo of the end of the log?

 

[Clyde S. Dale]

We need a photo of the end grain or a fresh split or both. My initial response is Ailanthus aka Tree of Heaven. Leaves would help too but might be a little early for that...

Thats 78 size washed gravel.

Glad I could help.

Judging by the bark I'd say young tulip poplar. Cut one around that size over the summer to use as stacking rails. They do tend to grow nice and straight.

I can tell more by the piece standing on end on the ground. Looks like the center is green, if it is, it's Poplar.

It was white all the way through no green...

I still say Ailanthus then. Probably comparable in BTUs to poplar. Shoulder season wood.

Mature tulip often has green to purplish streaks when it's milled or split fresh off the stump. It's much lighter in weight than many species as well.

Ok thanks a ton! What do you mean when you say shoulder season?

Shoulder season is now basically. When the temps are in the mid 30s to 40s at night, and 50s-70s during the day when you mostly just burn at night and not 24-7.

2B or 1B?

 

[Sprinter]

2B or 1B?

Either way, it will burn poorly...

Tree of heaven

 

[AmbDrvr253]

I have to agree with tree of heaven. How thick is the bark? If it has nearly no bark it is 100% TOH.

 

[JA600L]

It's tree of heaven. I just cut one. It looked exactly the same. It splits like butter.
