dont consume it every day
Well its not an oak its a chestnut oak they grow in groups often close together in large numbers , they have no Rhyme nor reason remember there not nursery stock , and being in Missouri how could you accurately identify a coastal tree being inland as far as you are , they are a fragrant tree agreed there but that is often intensified by decay and location , furthermore I have looked at the zone map and Missouri isn't included so unless you've visited than how would know that I am wrong, I would not question someone from your neck of the woods on tree ID ..if there was a tree that wasn't here in Jersey ..Have you ever smelled a chestnut tree pewwww..

i know i know, my pics sucked!
i hate to let this debate rage on without providing more pics, but i cannot get back to that spot for probably a week, we havea foot of snow on the ground, its been sleeting all night, and supposed to rain for the next 2 days
next time i go back i will bring the camera and take pics of the trees themselves, the tops, branches . etc.. ill get some good ones i promise:greenchainsaw:
banshee its simple is it heavy or light for its size? does it smell good or bad ? you must know what oak looks like is it oak ? does it have bark that comes off easy and shows orange underneath?does it cut easy or like oak?
Just a question; as the tree nears the top do the branches appear whitish and slick? At thee tips do they appear green with very pronounced lenticels ?
whats up rope lot of chestnut oak here.

My money is on it being Chestnut Oak. Both the bark and end cut look like it to me.
Got paypal?
Ten spot?
:hmm3grin2orange:
I'm just funnin...
But I'd pay up if I turned out to be wrong. Between the pic, description of growth pattern, description of strong good smell, description of green weight of wood I really don't see any way this can be oak.
If I'm wrong you can all make fun of me and ill take it like a man.
now all you have to do is burn a piece and tell me if it pops a lot while burning.definitely light for its size
yes it smells good , VERY STRONG , definitely one of the more pleasant wood odors that ive smelled(not as good as birch ) much better than some white oak or locust or dogwood of course
i dont know a lot about trees, but i honestly dont see this being an oak tree at all, we have lots of oak trees around here where i live which is much more northern NJ, ive never seen any of these trees in question untill i went to monmouth county, they are everywhere on this property, but ive never seen them around here
it cuts very easy, and splits even easier, i was splitting huge rounds by hand maul, not rotton either
as for the bark coming off easy, and being orange underneath, im not so sure, i only split about a half cord of it this past weekend, but it seemed to hold onto the bark pretty good.. as for orange underneath, ill do some investigating tomorrow, i have a little split stack outside, ill snap some b etter pictures of, before i can get back tot he property for actual pics of the trees, maybe some better pics tomorrow of my split pile will clear this up and end the war!
