Wood Identification Help

[Garbanzo62]

Can I get some assistance on identifying this type of wood. It is from dead tree that the top section broke off. Some of the piece have no bark left on them. There are a few similar trees that are Dead Standing. I'm guessing about 80 ft tall. There appears to be bug damage under the bark. Thinking possibly Ash? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those squiggly lines and the word dead tell me ash. Not sure what type of ash tree though. The bark doesnt look exactly like mine. Maybe green ash?

I should add, Im terrible at identifying trees. It just similar to mine but not exactly. I still have one going strong though! I did that expensive injection on one tree that I didnt want to lose, and that was oh I bet 5 years ago. I was told I would need to do it once a year MAYBE every other year but if not I would lose the tree. There arent many ash trees left in my area. We lost almost all of them. Interesting though, there are still some. Some were hit and lived, but some were completely left alone.

Thanks. It is is a swampy area which Green Ash likes. Going to cut down/up the the remaining trunk sections this weekend.

How about a picture of the trunk, the still standing section

I am probably wrong but it looks like American Elm to me
See how it splits!

This is the one of the snapped trunks still standing

This is the other trunk still standing with a few dead trees around it.. (it is a swampy area)

Here is another that is dead but still standing

That's interesting. Definitely looks like my ash trees sans tiny holes everywhere that woodpeckers go to extract the blue devils

From the bark in the first standing tree pic I’d say white ash.

Split right down the middle with maul. Moisture meter read around 37%

Looks like ash to me. I have quite a few dead ones also. Your splits look the same too

looks like the elm that i just took down last year and the bark looks like another one that has to come down because it's standing dead
