Called my wood cutter buddy today to see what we were cutting and, while he had to head off to other business, he did say I could load up with the fruits of a job he was working this week. All maple! Sweet! Brought home three 4x8 trailers (well loaded!) today and will head back for another couple tomorrow. He's already hauled off 10 he says and the main trunks are still to be levelled - they're over 4' across and still 7-8' high!
Anyway, I had just finished loading my second load this aft and an older gentleman stopped and asked me if I wanted another tree. Said he had one blow dow nlast summer. Some kind of maple, he says. I go and have a look and am not sure if it's Manitoba Maple or White Ash. Took some pics and even found a (intact) leaf at the base of the tree (though it could have blown in from nearby trees). I'm always confused by these two and hope you can help school me on what this is.
The leaf is kinda hard to see, but it has little jaggies on the sides.
