Looks like a dead wet punky tree.

It would be hard to tell without a picture of the leaves or fruit.
Looks like it is starting to rot though!

this tree has been dead for a couple of years. It feel down a couple weekends ago on are walking path that we take on occasion.I was hoping some one could identify the bark.Heres other pictures I hope this will help. By the way the tree is rotten at the bottom around the trunk It looks like the tremites got it Other then that fourty feet of this tree is sound. Thanks for the help.

Could be red oak. It's funny- the pics are good, but if I could walk up close enough to touch it I could tell you what it is in 5 seconds.

looks like hard maple,because of the light color and stright as it is

That's what a lot of the dead and dying red oak around here look like.
Even the little grey one on top of the big one in the last pic with the moss on it looks like oak..
Bark falling off.

Hard to tell with mature trees, thier bark starts to look the same, aged.

Looks like too much sapwood to be red oak.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

If you look at the picture on the right in the first post- there's not much sapwood before you hit heartwood there. Other shots don't show it

if this were Jeopardy..... I'd be looking Alex dead in the eye.....
"What is Red Oak"?


esp. based off that second set of pics you posted. the trunk and that limb leaning on the downed soul..... to me, red oak.

 

[sullystull]

Yep...I agree, Quercus Rubra

 

[ScottF]

looks like one of those firewood trees that we saw in the other post. Only this is a rotted one

 

[billb3]

ship us all several splits and we'll let ya know.

 

[countrybois]

Maybe a different type of red oak than we have here in the midwest then. 90% of what I cut and burn is red oak and there is not any light colored sapwood in any of it.

That tree in Connecticut is called a "fallen tree". cut it up and burn it. nice find.

What are the other trees around it? Chances are it's probably the same species.
