Hackberry?
I've not seen one. Just a guess. Guess I was incorrect.Say what???
3rd for hop hornbeam or iron wood if you prefer.Great fire wood.I'm always surprised at the weight of it relative to the size of the stick you pick up.Second vote for ironwood
It surprises me that they would direct these trees to be cut down in the name of TSI considering they are such large specimens for their species.I'd go with Ironwood too. Generally it doesn't get real big. A few years ago the owner of a local game farm hired me to do some TSI work. (timber stand improvement) Worked out a deal and was paid in pheasants. The forester marked the trees to cut and these two Ironwood were the biggest in the County according to the forester.
A couple of things to add:When stacking,keep off the ground as it rots rather quickly when in contact with the ground. Hophornbeam/ironwood was also known as hardak in the northeast by old timers.Some wood cutters still call it that.3rd for hop hornbeam or iron wood if you prefer.Great fire wood.I'm always surprised at the weight of it relative to the size of the stick you pick up.
