FIL said he had a tree down in his pasture..easy access. Well, thats debatable. The tree was down, however. I have no idea what it is.

Cut pretty fast, split very easy so im assuming it burns horrible. I dont think maple because of the seed pods, but im not a pro. Catalpa? Theres at least another load and half of smaller stuff on the ground.

looks like Sumac to me.

Never heard of that. Is that a regional name? What i searched for sumac trees looks like a small grower.

Looks to me like maybe smooth sumac. They get pretty big around here in Md. Giant weed that you don't want around your house.

How does it burn? It was on a hillside in a pasture.

Sumac doesn't have a pod so that's not it.

 

[ashy larry]

This tree was 30" or better at the base and probably 80'

Where do you see a pod?

Ive been thru NC tree id guides and am still stumped.

 

[stihly dan]

I'm going with tree of heaven.

 

[ashy larry]

I think youre on to something. The description was dead on. Actually said its decent for firewood.

 

[melloyello]

It looks like some sort of mimosa with those pods on it. They normally on grow to 40ft or so though. Maybe it's just a really really old one?

 

[ashy larry]

If it burns as good as poplar ill be tickled. It cut and split waaay easy.

+1 for sumac and tree of heaven... fyi they are the same thing.
