Green hardwoods... Really hard wood... Like locust mostly.
Well you can use a full chisel but it will dull quickly in locust, so I would suggest a Semi-chisel chain so you won't have to sharpen as often, though you will cut slower, not having to sharpen the chain as often could make up for it, unless you buy 2-3 chisel chains and swap out when dull, but hardwood can dull a full chisel chain in a matter of minutes, it happened to mine.

I figured that much as well Kensie, I guess I'm more curious if there is a brand preference?

Ahh gotcha, Carlton is cheap and a quality chain, they produce chains for woodland pro, either Carlton or Oregon, that's the only two I use, Stihl make a quality chain I've heard, but I haven't tested it so I can't say there, if you go with Stihl I have heard a lot of people say stay away from the green link chain.
