Tree ID

[homebrewz]

Allow me to add to the mass of ID questions. The first two pics are of a tree which partially rotted and fell over, and the last two pics are of what I think is the same species of tree, but much larger and still standing.
Note the woodpecker marks in the first picture. Therefore, I'm guessing some kind of soft maple?

Poplar of some kind maybe? Im really not sure

The one in the first 2 pics kind of looks like a different tree than the one in the 2nd two pics. You sure they are the same species?

 

[homebrewz]

Not entirely sure, but the bark is very similar.

Looks like Elm to me

It's butternut (Juglans cinerea), suffering from and succumbing to the butternut canker.

Those first two look like Hickory to me, not sure of the other ones....

That looks like hickory. Once it dies it deteriorates rather quickly.

Hmm...I wonder...these trees look really bad whatever the problem is. I would cut them up. Or brush fire them. Thats a sad deal.
I would disinfect my tools afterwards.
When you cut these trees you will know right away if its hickory or not.

Bitternut hickory for sure. Good stuff. Burns hot and smells great. Looks quite punky tho

Thanks for the responses. The bark is not as deeply furrowed as the butternuts around here. Perhaps some kind of hickory.. we have a lot of shagbark in the woods. I'm going to process the one that fell over anyway. I'll update again with pics of the split wood if I can't figure it out.

Pic #2 with the broken section sure looks like bitternut hickory. But that is some really messed up bark! Something has given those trees a rough way to go.

Hickory I think but it might be pretty far gone.
