Wood ID(Should be easy)

[bunfoolio]

Just picked up a few of these and considering getting more. The bark is distinctive so I am guessing it should be easy for those who have ID it before.

A large wild buckthorn tree? I have seen them look just like that.

Thanks. I am use to seeing my birch be white. It makes sense that there are more than one variety. I live in MA and found it near a swamp.

Yellow Birch, at least one year to season properly.

Any chance you have a leaf for positive ID? White (paper) birch can range from the traditional white to dirty grey/brown but very possibly one of the others where you are at.

Paper birch ...but possibly Fire cherry

...but possibly Fire cherry

That's what I thought too.

River Birch...

This is buckthorn. The bigger they get the rougher the bark.

Looks like the yellow birch that is burning in my stove right now.

They have mostly fallen but I will see if I can find one from one that is still alive.
