I'd say honey locust, branch characteristics lead me away from silver maple and new bark pic looks more honey, maybe idk... your own ur own I give up, haha

It is not silver maple for sure.

No, it's not silver maple...



...more likely sugar maple...





Leaves can vary quite a bit with maples, even among the same species... leaves nearby look like sycamore, though. Bark low on a sycamore can look like that, but it would be real different going higher. I guess if you cut it down, you'll know. It won't cut or burn like maple, that's for sure.

I was going to say Norway Maple. We have some of those here in Indiana. Leaf can look a lot like that especially when the tree gets large.

If so, it is hard wood and should burn great.

 

[no tree to big]

Norway has smooth bark that's not flaky right?

You're right- smoother than the picture at least. I was looking more at the leaf. Leaf also looks pretty large at a 2nd glance.

We also have doubts that the leaf goes to the tree

Soft maple. No doubt about it. Either red or silver. Guessing red. I've spent months in swamps cutting just soft maple. It can have many different bark types from real smooth to real shaggy and everything in between. The form of the tree really pegs it for me.

Here's some of what I believe is sugar maple. Been undercover for 14 months, looks like the day I put it in. I just threw a couple pieceView attachment 477385 View attachment 477386 s in the stove and it burns good. I was gonna sell this, that's why it's split on the smaller side. Fireplace user's like it that way. I decided to burn it myself, I have a over a cord.

Yes thats hard(sugar) maple.

Live oak is an awesome tree. They are all over Texas and Florida and I would assume the rest of the south. Excellent firewood.

I had to take 5 down that got their top snapped in the 09 mid Atlantic blizzards. The tops were on my roof. I burned some and gave most away to the guys helping me take the trees down. It is good for starting a fire. It burns quick and hot
