Please help ID this mystery wood!

Hey guys, I got 3 cords of this stuff for $150bux delivered. It has no smell and is relativley easy to split. Most of the pieces were 20" in diameter. Really nice and round. I have no idea what it is tho.

Thanks for your replys folks. It smells kind of sour and splits green like nothin else I've ever split. Have to drive the maul through with a sledge clear to the bottom. I had no idea elm was so stringy when green. If I cut more I'll just stack it for a year or two. Glad to know it's elm. Not the greatest wood but it'll heat my house ok. Thanks.;)

Your firewood look like Tree of Heaven to me.
I am thinking it will be very light weight when dry.

That stuff with the chunky bark a few post back has me stumped.
