Scrounge identification

[JA600L]

Hi guys,
Here I came across two different trees that I cut up. There is a lot of Spalding on the bark, but can anybody help identify what it is? Both woods are dense with a tight grain. The darker grained wood has a very sweet smell to it. Both split fairly easy. Thanks.

Light wood with warty bark is hackberry.

Definitely some hackberry. Good wood to burn, but keep it off the ground. The bugs like it and will destroy it in short order if given the chance.

Also, it rots very quickly when in contact with the ground. Smells almost identical to paradise wood.

Hackberry as said here, also a piece of Cherry or Black Birch in that picture of the wood standing up vertically. That's the sweet smell you described...

First pic the grain looks like ash, agreed with hackberry too. I have some in the stacks that I haven't burned yet, one fell on my power line last winter. Wait, maybe it was 2 winters ago...

I didn't think it was Hackberry. It's darker then most Hackberry I have seen. Also it's not really warts. It's more like Spalding bark peeling.

pictures 1-4 and 7 100% Hackberry, picture 5 end grain looks like pine to me or bad hackberry picture 6 looks like all Hackberry. Good stuff and I keep mine for no less than 2 years and have some in the 4 year rotation.

The wood that has the sweet smell is the lighter wood. The end grain picture is the same with all the lighter wood. I'm not convinced that is Hackberry. I've had Hackberry before. The darker bark maybe. The light wood has a very tight grain.

3,4, and 7 are from the same tree.

I'm not sure of the picture order, but the picture that ends in 59.50 I am 99.9% sure that is hackberry. It has very distinct bark, but the bark changes the further up the tree you go and with the age of the tree. Some of the pieces look like it may have been standing dead.

Picture 52.48 doesn't really look like hackberry, but I'm not sure on that one.

Both of those pictures are the same tree lol
