What kind of tree is this?

[supersammy]

Need some help identifying what kind of tree these are. I was going to use them as firewood, but not sure if its softwood or hardwood.

Sorta looks like willow to me.

Wow the replies where fast. Is it worth splitting to use as firewood after it dries in a wood burning stove?

Willow. I have never burned it. I hear it isn't very good.

i think the first picture is aspen and the last pictures are black willow. both are very soft, will burn very fast. These types of wood i used during warm weather.

Willow is a pain, it doesnt burn good, by the time it dries out enough to be burned it is almost rotten, and it's usually huge and hard to handle.

It's willow, I have burned it before. As aod said it will nearly be rotton by the time it dries. It will also be light as a feather and burn fast. But free heat is getting harder to come by. I say get it and burn it.

+1!
If trees were humans, willow would be a drunkard. Dry it out and there isn't much left.

Harry, i.e. turnkey, seems to be our resident expert on willow. I suspect that now that he has found more locust than he knows what to do with, the willow might be given away or sold at a very cheap price.

The first few pics, the rounds on the train tracks and the log that turns from a scaly gray to white bark, sure look like Eastern Cottonwood to me. Populus deltoides .
