I think basswood or linden but the ones I cut the wood wasnt that tight grained nor were they bigger than 6". Almost looks like ash by the grain

I believe it is an ash. Look for bore runs under the bark.

Ash has a pink hart when fresly cut, and smaller growth rings, the bark can look nearly identical though.

I believe Tulip Popular also.

Here's a new species I've encountered. Looks like it got uprooted and fell horizontally hanging I assume is fresh but dead. When I cut into it it was green. Any ideas what it is? The heartwood on the end grain looks like a grass stain green color.

Can you send a picture of the buds?

Yellow poplar aka Tuliptree

I agree. The bark and the green color both look like what I have seen from poplars.

Kinda looks like a burial ground for some very very old cars to me. LOL

I was leaning towards Tuliptree until I saw that seed pod. Then I fell over right on top of the Tuliptree choice. Although, in my neck of the woods it is very rare for a tulip tree to uproot but I suppose there is always an exception.

Re: the discussion of Shagbark Hickory. I associate the look of that tree with the theory that it evolved that way so that squirrels, etc. could not easily climb those trees without the loose bark falling off.

Is is right on top of a water resevoir stream like lane. The ground around it gets and stays very moist especially after a rain. A few root rotted cedars nearby it also.

Here where I live those tulip poplars will, in addition to that green center, have an occasional strip of deep purple in the wood that is absolutely beautiful when freshly sawn on a sawmill. Sad part is that as the wood dries the purple turns brown and disappears!

I can't help but think of all the history sitting there with all those old cars! Around here cars don't generally last when left out like that. The humidity and nearly constant wet ground swallows them up....

It’s definitely a poplar tree. Sometimes called a tulip poplar or a yellow poplar. I’ve milled thousands of them over the years. When it seasons it will make for a great fall and late spring wood to burn and will be much lighter. It’s a relatively fast burning wood. The green hue will quickly turn tan to brown when exposed to the outside world. Sometimes there is even purple and black heartwood.

The green heartwood quickly changes to tan in a matter of minutes when exposed to light.
