What type of maple?

[billfred]

Maybe hard (sugar) maple?
In S. Indiana.

 

[Sodbuster]

Nobody??

 

[Ctwoodtick]

I does not look like soft maple.

 

[jackatc1]

Sort of looks more like White Oak to me.

 

[billfred]

I guess I’ll find out more once I start cutting into it.

 

[weatherguy]

Tough to tell the way the trees beat up and the way the suns hitting it. Post some more pics once you start cutting.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Take bud pics.

I don't see opposite branching.

 

[billfred]

Isn’t opposite branching only for Ash? Not sure what you were getting at.

 

[billfred]

Oops. Just learned that maple also has opposite branching.

 

[jackatc1]

If it turns out to be Maple, it will not be Sugar Maple, or Black Maple.

Looks like Oak to me. But not White Oak. Kevin

No opposing branches. Here’s some bud pics. Not on my property. Just trying to figure out if it’s worth it.

By no stretch an expert here, but Hedge Maple?

[nrford]

looks like hickory family to me

The main reason it would be worth it to me is the ease of recovery.

 

[billfred]

Yeah pretty easy access. 5 miles away. In a big open field that I can pull my truck right up to. Already down. I might wait until the fall for this. I’ve got time.

 

[billfred]

Got some cut and split. Smells kind of sweet. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking Norway maple, bring a couple blades with you because these tree's grow twisted in the prevailing winds, great burning wood to, a little bit of pain to split, but it does burn nice.

If it’s worth it? Hell yeah. If you don’t want it, send it my way!

I also think that it is hickory.

it is definitely not any kind of maple
