What kind of tree

[Toy4xchris]

Wondering what kind of tree this is it was cut down a while back and I have some of the wood from it

sent from my electronic leash

 

[zogger]

I can't tell, skinny leaves but not enough detail even enlarging the pic. Did it start out real heavy and dry to popcorn light? Someone from out there needs to comment, doesn't look much like any east coast tree other than maybe a willow, but I wouldn't think a willow would grow at all anyplace with little to no regular rain.

 

[Toy4xchris]

its relatively heavy hasnt completely dried out yet was cut maybe a few months ago its a major pita to split though.

Russian Olive?

 

[unclemoustache]

No, Russian Olive leaves are very pale/white in color.

I was thinking Willow also.

 

[babybart]

Struck me as a willow also. I have never split any though.

 

[longbowch]

Looks like a type of locust.

I would guess, eucalyptus tree.

I would guess, eucalyptus tree.

That was my 1st guess too, but I don't know southern California trees very well...

 

[Toy4xchris]

Father-n-law was looking at it today and said it is eucalyptus kinda what I figured but everyone around me thinks they are an expert and all said it's something else

Quite sure it's Euc, not sure what species, tree shape/leaves etc would help.

One of the cluey Aus. blokes will wander past and know it.

 

[chippy]

I'm pretty sure it's a Euc. also....

Hard to tell, but a wild guess from me would be Peppermint, Agonus flexuosa.....it's all I can guess with those pics.

 

[chippy]

How's this look?

It's a peppermint also without the huge amount of pruning your example has had.....

me thinks,,,,, well best guess by bark limb form & wood as pict not close enuff to leaf to sure eucalyptus nicholii

Pretty sure we have nailed it......as to the type of peppermint bottom pic suggests Euc. Elata but top pic not so sure.

 

[unclemoustache]

Nifty. Don't get many of those around here.

 

[Creeker]

Good work chippy & derwoodii.

I couldn't put my finger on it, knew the bark and the appearance of the wood in the heap but don't have much to
do with P/mints.
