I really like to browse and comment on the wood ID threads, but there is a huge regional gap in how we name trees. Just a few of the common examples that I see often are:
Sugar Maple and Hard Maple..In fact you guys in the Northeast have so many different names for maple, most of the time I'm not sure which one you're talking about.
In Kansas we have 11 different native species of oaks, I'll bet each of them have at least two common names.
I recently posted in another thread on Osage Orange, it is also called Hedge, Hedge Apple, and Bodark.
I'm curious on how many different names we can come up with for common hardwood firewood species.
Oak
Maple
Elm
