I friend wanted a tree taken down so he ask me. Real easy drop so I said Okay. I could not I.D. the tree by the bark and he had no idea what it was either. First thought Box Elder but it has alternate branching so that's out. I split some just to be able to get it into the truck and found a weird coloring ranging from redish to almost black. And it was very wet actually splashed "juice" a couple of times when I smacked the wedge. It split easily as well.
Here are pictures of the bark and split. I've never seen this type of coloring before. What in the world is it and is it worth the time and effort?? :gulp:
