I been cutting it for so long I can tell in a heart beat, I was not aware that some people had a problem with telling them apart.dannynelson77 said:oldspark said:Green Ash is darker than White Ash, we have a pretty good mix of the ash here but not to many people on this forum talk about Green Ash.dannynelson77 said:Not black but the heartwood is darker, where Ash is typically all white.

I think thats because its so hard to tell them apart. People probbaly just think they have white ash when they have green? I think the only true way to tell them apart is the leaf scar.
Here is the white ash and the green ash, I am sure you can tell me which is which.dannynelson77 said:Well from what I have read, the bark, leaves, and wood typically look the same. Just with the leaves they are not as "whitish" on the bottom. I dont know first hand though as all I have cut is white ash. Or at least I think so.

You really have not seen much ash if you think it is all white.
