Tree has unique leaf...still can't identify.

Should be an easy one, but I've had no luck. What is this tree?

Also, this one is Ash correct? This is the first ash tree I have seen on my property so just confirming.



All 3 of these branches are from the same tree.

Are you sure that leaf is from the same tree? It looks like a silverleaf grape to me. Maybe it was just a vine that was growing on the trunk?

 

[SawDawg]

I shall confirm after work. There are indeed vines around the tree, but I was positive I saw these leaves coming directly from the trunk (tree was coppiced last year).

The first, to me, looks like some sort of oak or maple, although I'm not familiar with the leaf.
The second looks like ash. Ash is easily confused with Elm, though.

 

[barmstrong2]

I'm working in an area with an abundance of both right now. Here's a leaf from each. Ash on the left and elm on the right. The bark looks very similar on both.

 

[SawDawg]

Ah, so it does appear to be ash due to non-teeth margins. Excellent.

Thanks!

First one looks like silver maple. Second one ash.

First post with photos is Mulberry, !00% sure.

#1 is not silver maple. Looks similar to grape but not exact. Could be mulberry, not familiar enough with mulberry to say.

Absolutely mulberry and ash.

3ford, by golly I think you are correct.

The only suspect thing is lack of Mulberries on this tree....I have never seen any. However can't recall ever seeing a similar tree in the area so perhaps it has to have a pollinator before producing fruit?

Here's the only other photo I took. I can't promise each leaf in this pic is from the tree since there are also vines, but the 2 large leaves are.

It must be a male tree.

 

[SawDawg]

It must be a male tree.

Well, it always appears to be sporting wood so probably so. *ba dum ding*

 

[3fordasho]

Yep, male tree. Fast growing, weed tree, not bad firewood- but not so much for open fireplace (pops and sparks). I'm constantly cleaning them out of my pine grove, sometimes they'll grow right up though a pine. If it's out in the open they can be real bushy and short in height(read lots of work to process). I have seen ones with straight and taller trunks if they had competition.

This one fits that bill. It had plenty of surrounding trees, so it was tall and straight. Very nice to work with (straight) and very easy to split. I shall use it to get the stove hot and also for camp fires.

Thanks for everyone's responses. This thread helped me greatly.

I have never been disappointed by any fruit tree. It will burn well. Also changes colors when seasoning. Pretty cool. Mulberry that is.

I would keep it for the stove. Similar BTU's as oak!

Mulberry and Ash. The Mulberry leaf is distinctive, plus the dark center on the wood is also a characteristic of Mulberry. Your hand is hiding the critical part of the ash branch, which is the part where the leaves emerge from the twig. I think below you hand I can see that the leaves are opposite, making it Ash. The other likely choice of a tree with compound leaves like that would be hickory, but Hickories have alternate leaf arrangement.

It is a Mulberry tree! Mulberry is asexual which is male and female, you happen to have a male tree. The other picture is ash, nut sure which one from that picture, however it is ash!
