Complete pain in the rear to split even using a magical Fiskars...
Reddish color...
Stinks...
Bark...oh, the bark...
Box Elder.
I detest Box Elder.
Ok, so it burns better then a snowball.
But there's a reason I girdle young ones when I find them.
This was a big 'un -- a solid 18" DBH, maybe a smidge more. Big log. So I got a lot to split.
I remember felling it last fall, it was part of "clump" with some red maples -- the bases all grown together.
Scientific Name: Acer negundo.
Should be: Acer suckmucho.
Box Elder. Bah.
