These trees are located in NE Pennsylvania. I have quite a few. I’d like to take then down. Need to ID. and are they good for firewood. Thanks.

Maybe some type of magnolia. Maybe Saucer Magnolia.
Looks like cherry. Decent firewood.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
I was going to say looks like a black cherry. 
I was going to say sweet cherry until I saw the leaves - assuming the leaves in the pic are from the tree in question. Too big for cherry leaves.
Leaves don't look like Cherry. Plus Cherry has a single trunk.
P.S. Well maybe I'm wrong.
Is there any chance they might be an ornamental cherry? As the others say. the bark looks like cherry, but growth pattern and leaves don't look like what we normally see in the wild. If not cherry, maybe some other fruit tree; apple, crabapple, some thing in the prunus family, like plum? Likely it would be good firewood.

Don't see many around here besides small black cherry and never heard of birch cherry so I looked it up. This literally was the second picture. Multi stem
LOL! Not slapping on ya. Just thought it was funny.

total weed around here but good firewood. Make sure you have a splitter, very twisted grain

Thanks all for the replies. The pictures help. I will do a close up comparison. I’ll research the mentioned trees. I plan to transport my splitter up here. Lots of wood to buck and split. The leaves pictured are from this tree. I failed to mention that in OP. Thanks again.

Thanks all for the info. My wife stayed here for the winter-spring. She told me we have a Cherry tree which blossomed with white blooms and was loaded with sweet cherries. So I had her point it out to me. I compared the leaves to the old trees I needed ID on and they are the same. So they appear to be Cherry trees. Some still have good growth with dead limbs. I plan to cut the dead portion and try to save the growing tree. So I will have plenty of cherry firewood. I now hope I can save parts of these trees. As a side note we have plenty of Blueberry and BlackBerry trees here. This is going to be interesting.
