Help on tree identification

[Cacciatore1981]

I seen this on Craigslist and from the pictures I first thought it was black locust but when I arrived I didn't think it was locust. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated there's many truckloads and wanted to make sure it was a good burning hardwood. Thank you

Might be an elm.

Have your split any?

Del , I have not just getting done unloading it

Hard to see on my phone but I think you may have some highly valuable black walnut.

I was thinking that but the leaves , maybe because they're premature don't quite match the walnut

Del, I just split a piece definitely doesn't split like the stringy elm

It kinda looks like the willow that grows in our swamps but in the black dirt they fall over before they get that tall. Is it a undense wood? Willow is pretty soft and will start to rot if uncovered.

It's pretty dense and heavy

siberian elm or red elm

You’d know if it was willow, also on closer inspection the heartwood looks different. Elm is a lot better than willow so it should be worth your time

I’m with Del and Cape. It’s Elm. Split a piece and when it tears and doesn’t split you’ll know for sure.
Burns nice but it’s a lot of work to split.

Slippery Elm [Red Elm] or Rock Elm

It looks like Elm alright.

Mulberry or Walnut, look like a few pieces of Elm (the white centers) mixed in. The three stumps look like Mulberry for sure.

Yes I did I split almost a cord , the dryer pieces weren't too bad some of the wetter logs gave me some trouble but not much. All in all fairly simple. Free and have a lot , I can't complain.
