Here's a link to what I found to be the closest.

Yep... That's what was on my trailer... It was a "live" 100 year old American Elm that had to be removed.
I believe that's what you got...

That would have to be one of two trees... Gum, or Persimmon... I have no Gum trees here, but big persimmons run amuck...

Stuff seems pretty dense but the color just throws me. That has been sitting for a few months so you can see the edge get dark but when I cut a piece it looks very yellow with a green tint.
I put that piece on a hot fire just to see what it burned like even tho its still green and it burned pretty good so i'll keep it. :msp_biggrin:
Just kinda wonderin what it was.
Thanks

I've got lots of it around here, very much a weed tree. Splits much easier than american elm. I'm cutting mostly live trees as this stuff does not succumb to the dutch elm bug. Full of water, when seasoned it is a ok shoulder season wood. Unlike other elms it holds onto it's bark very well which is unfortunate because as others have mentioned- it creates lots of ash. Needs a good coal bed to get it going, not something to throw on a few coals and expect it to take off. I'm cutting a 2-3 acre lot full of it, most will be sold as low cost firewood as I like to have my own stash full of better stuff.

Siberian (mistakenly called chinese) Elm:

I hop down off my soap box and put myself in time out. I am mistaken in the tree. The elms I am use to seeing are not red centers, almost white all across them and with a grayish white bark. thank you for not publicly hanging me from said elm tree. I learn something new everytime I come here and thats what keeps me coming back, that and the quest to aquire bad a$$ saws.
