Looks like Walnut to me. Isn't winged elm a southern tree?

Yea I think you guys are right. It gets those big green balls (walnuts I am guessing) during the year at some point. I went out and looked for some and I think their landscaper cleaned them all up. How is black walnut as firewood? I think I have burned some before and it has a really nice smell and wood grain and color is awesome....am I right?

It's good firewood, but you should think in terms of cutting a couple 8-foot+ saw logs to either get milled for lumber or sell to someone who wants the lumber. Walnut is sought after for many woodworking uses. This tree looks mature enough that you could get a couple-three saw logs and still have plenty of wood unsuitable for lumber that you could cut into firewood lengths.
As some has said it is diffinately Butternut. I don't think it is actually that good for firewood. On second look I could not say Butternut for sure but it is one or the other. Anyone I know that has burnt either has said it is not that good to burn.
Price varies from area to area. Here walnut is now up to $1.00 per BF delivered.
