Title: Tree Identification?
Post by: gfugal on April 20, 2018, 01:29:54 pm

So I'm at my grandparent's place and they sold some of their land to some developers. The developers cut down the apple orchard as well as some other trees. I saw these nicely cut branches. Anyone know what tree this is, and whether it would be worth it to take some?

Might make some nice split wood shafts.

  Yeah, that is just poplar, unfortunately.

Hard to see from the pics, but it could be a cottonwood, which is just as bad.

Poplar does make pretty nice shafts.

So I asked my father to look at it, and he said it was a cottonwood tree as well. So I just left it.

Unfortunately, most of the Orchard was cut down and already processed into firewood before I got there, or even knew what was going on. My grandma kept some trees though and she graciously allowed me to cut off a branch of one apple tree, and take out a cherry shoot that was growing next to her ancient cherry tree.

Here's the apple tree. I took the longer branch to the right and on the bottom.
