Local tree trimming business gave me some free Pine.
Can someone help me identify what pine this is?

Also, some of these have a lot of branches coming from them. How difficult will this be to split using a log splitter?

It will be a bit of a pain to split, as the branches will want to tear away, leaving some interesting splits. Also, the "nubs" will make the log want to ride up off the splitter's foot. That said, it will be easy work compared to doing it by hand. 
As long as you're not too ocd about the neatness of your stacks, it'll be fine.

Those knotty rounds have about twice the Btu's a straight round will have.
