Ash wood is almost pink or red?

[pwoller]

The tree I'm milling has almost red heart wood. Is that normal in Ash trees? The saw dust is a pink shade.

I've seen some shades of pink. I haven't seen red.

Could it be mulberry instead? That usually has a pinkish heart to it.

Seen lots of pink near red in a 133 year old 60" White Ash. Shows through the laquer like wow. Iron perhaps from the ground?

 

[pwoller]

Its Ash. Not sure if its white or green but it has a narrow maybe 10 inch wide reddish color in the middle of the tree.

Looks like Fraxinus Americana from here. Any borers (not emerald) present in the cambrium? Looks good.

 

[pwoller]

No borers present but of course it has the typical signs of the EAB under the bark.

Just curious how do you tell Green from White Ash without leaves?

I'll admit I don't know my ash trees, but this one has some pink in it, and I was told its a green ash
