nrford said:Elm, most likely Grey Elm. Ash that size would split like a dream, I believe you try and split that it will be very stringy and tough!
There's also what appears to be an Elm leaf in the front center...EatenByLimestone said:I can't help on the id for that one, but you have a lot of red oak leaves along with the maple on the ground there.
Thistle said:American or Grey/White Elm definitely.
Once or twice a year I cut smaller-medium size ones with broken tops or other damage.Not much more than scrub really,most of the large old ones have died off around my area.Wait a year or more until the bark falls off,that can really help in splitting the larger rounds.
Is the limb on the power lines the same one pictured at the beginning of the thread?GreyMum said:Do the attached pics of the tree confirm or deny elm? I had forgotton I took these after the big storm in October. The wood has been sitting (on my neighbor's property, his tree) since the storm, and I've been debating whether I should ask him for it. Maybe no one has taken it because it's elm, and less desirable? Sounds like it's hard to split. Does it not burn well?
I also attached a pic of what I believe was an ash tree...It should be good to burn next year, yes?
Woody Stover said:Is the limb on the power lines the same one pictured at the beginning of the thread?Hard to confirm from this batch of pics. Some of the leaves do look sort of Elm-like and the shape of the branches looks sort of vase-like, but I would be pretty much guessing at ID. Elm burns OK and puts out medium heat. White Ash burns a bit longer. Split Ash will dry over the Summer but I'm not sure if any rounds bigger than 3" will. I'll leave that question for more experienced seasoners to field.GreyMum said:Do the attached pics of the tree confirm or deny elm? I had forgotton I took these after the big storm in October.
