yet another wood i.d. thread

[boostnut]

Got lucky and met a farmer wanting some trees taken out of an old fence line. Cut a couple truckloads of cherry and one of these (see pics). Wood is very yellow/green and heavy. Tree was "brushy" to me, had to drag lots of small branches. Three stems all about 18" dbh came out of the stump and the tree wasn't easy to drop since it was somewhat innertwined. I have a guess but would like a more educated one. What do you think?

The pics didnt show up on my end but im gonna take a stab at it anyway and say Hedgeapple.

I cant see the photos ...but maybe a willow???? just a guess

If it's yellow and heavy it's either Osage Orange(hedge apple) or Mulberry. Thorns meand Osage for sure but some don't have thorns. I believe it's a male/Female thing with them but not sure. At any rate, both have great heat value to burn and you'll like it!

pics show up for anybody? I'll attach a couple here too.

Not hedge.

The wedge kinda reminds me of Aspen. We don't have any with "bushy" branches though.

Could be due to lots of sunlight, because they are in a fence row?

Thats not hedge!

Black locust, cut a ton of it today.

I vote Mulberry.

The wood will turn orange in a few days up to a few weeks depending on the weathering.

That is black locust.

I'm gonna guess "mix breed".
Paws are to small and toes are to pointed to be a large working breed. I'm thinkin collie mix.:jester:
I have no idea on the wood though.

 

[PA Plumber]

Our Black Locust isn't quite that yellow.

I agree

 

[boostnut]

AIM, you just about nailed it! Not a mix but a border collie, 100%.

I really dont think this is locust, never seen one grow the way this tree did and the bark on the smaller branches seems too smooth to be locust. Canopy was also much thicker and larger than a typical locust around here.

My guesses are mulberry and hedge but......I really dont know, thats why I'm asking you!

 

[dustytools]

Now that I have seen the pics im gonna say Mulberry.

 

[aandabooks]

Mulberry. Locust around here in my experience has a much deeper bark. That bark is too smooth for locust. Definately not hedge.

Mulberry, and it makes nice firewood in an insert.

Did it have any old leaves laying around? It could be small scrub oak, very bushy.
