Identify this wood

[supersammy]

Hello,

I am sorry to keep doing this but a can't identify trees to save my life. I am clearing out my land of all the trees that have blown over or that are dead standing. I grabbed this today but it didn't have any leaves on it so I don't know what species of tree it is.

Aspen. Cottonwood/poplar family

+1. Many young cottonwood branches look just like the last Pic. It could be a cottonwood/poplar cross breed, similar to the famed cottonless cottonwood. Around here we call them mule trees. The leaves are similar to poplar--about the size of a dinner plate, but the tree grows fast and to the size of a cottonwood, never drops seeds, and lives longer than the poplar.

My neighbor has one in his back yard that has been there for 19 years. Nearly 4' across at the trunk, it now threatens four houses.

The majority says its aspen or poplar, in a year or so it will be firewood.

Thanks for the help!
