Let Me Try To "Stump" you - Pics

A guy who knows his trees told me what this is...I'm only 95% sure...

What Is It?

Left Pile:

Alianthis?

 

[sloth9669]

linden is my guess

 

[freemind]

I would have guess a cherry of some sorts, according to the bark.


Big growth rings though, make it look like softwood.

 

[morningwood]

Alder is my guess, but is not a very prominent wood in the Eastern U.S.

My other guess would be butternut, but the growth rings are too large for butternut.

Get a close-up of those dead leaves if there are any left - makes for easier identification.

It resembles Chinaberry, to me.

Well I am 100% sure on what it is, no doubt in my mind that it is...


































a piece of wood.

fast growing open annual rings and very wet in also a residential area ...hmm im thinking a fruit tree of some sort

 

[CASADOR]

Bradford pear, they always tear like that.

Hmm, tree shape is right, and it looks like that one has already lost a branch or two before. I'm not familiar with the grain of it, though. Sounds like as good a guess as any.

Flotek your right on! Sparky8370
& CASADOR you guys hit it dead on. Pear but the tree doesn't bear fruit.yes its residential. Cool thing about noticing the rings.

Yep, Freshly cut BP turns that color, then once dry turns white on the inside, the Bark, shape, crotches, color all point to this. I have a guy at work that gives me one or two a year cause the wind rips the branches off.

HOLY GROWTH RINGS BATMAN. That was the very first thing I noticed WOW what a grower. So no Bradford Pears produce fruit ? or just that particular one ?

Whoever said Ailanthis. Ailanthis is a very prolific grower, and a crappy softwood tree. The bark is absolutely smooth, and has no furrows in the bark at all. I hate it.

How large will they grow up there in Yankee country?

they give off fruit but they are the size or smaller then crabapples.. not worth anything just something to rake up. as for the overall size you can buy then dwarf ( that i got ) so it does not over power my yard. very pretty in the spring/fall with all white flowers.

I like the second pic. Looks like a firewood stack as a privacy fence, nice job.
