Small scrounge today, ID please

Saw this on the side of the road, I thought oak but when I got to there it was obviously not. It cut and split easy. It has some leaves starting from the attached branch.

Wish I could see bigger rounds...Why am I thinking Poplar. That's my guess

This looks similar to some red elm I found a couple of years ago.

I think you got it Lakeside. The power Company cut it at the end of my street. Like I said it split pretty easily. I have split American Elm and it was tough.

 

[Wood Duck]

I think it is Red Elm, or maybe Mulberry.

looks similar to some red elm

That my initial impression too. Plus elms starting to push out (pic 1).

Thanks everyone. I'm going with red elm. There's a few more rounds I will go back and get. It will go on the two year pile.

I have had lots of mulberry splits put out leaves while they were in the wood pile.

I had pin oak put out leaves.
