Anyone know what this is? Easy to split and free so I am taking it, just need to know which stack to put it on. Thanks

Looks like Ash

Maybe, the bark is smoother than most ash I have seen. Everything else seems like ash. Loggers got it out of there way and left it

Young poplar tree. Yellow most likely.

Okay. Other poplar trees on site have a darker center. Is this just because of the age? They are bigger trees
tulip poplar, shoulder season wood. Make sure you split every round, that inside bark will still be slimy a year from now

Tulip poplar, I burn a lot. If you fish, set aside a few lay them in the mud, let em rot. Next summer split a few open, they attract some big beetle that the grubs are as big as medium shrimp!
Tulip poplar usually has streaks of green in the wood, and I don't see that. Saw a maple leaf on the ground, but this doesn't quite look like maple.

I mistakenly cut A LOT of young poplar last November thinking it was young ash like someone else mentioned. It's so dry right now I can (and do) literally light a split with a match to get the stove started. Worth keeping around in my opinion but some guys will say otherwise.
It's ash. Look at the end grain.

looks more like basswood
Something in the poplar family, Aspen probably
It looks like Poplar, I see a few Poplar leaves on the ground, our neighbor has one not 18' from our driveway, yet it has the "pinhole" on the cut side of the wood in the second picture like Ash does, don't know if Poplar has that or not. Is this all from the same tree?

Basswood. Easy to identify by the color of the split and the bark

I guess I will go with basswood. Pretty sure that it is not poplar or ash. Sending it to the shoulder season pile
