genuis edition: this tree was just cut down yesterday and the
wood offered on CL. I went to get as much as I could. Primary plan is to use it for a
hugel bed. backup plan is
firewood!
I used my biology education to sleuth around for any kind of remnant leaf or any other clue...alas there are none but the size, bark, wood and location.
this guy was at least 40 feet tall with a havy trunk. The logs are quite heavy but may be from the moisture still inside. the different colored interior wood has me puzzled. This was a street tree in colorado springs so it may be one of the now 'unsuitable' species listed by the
city forester as obviously it was planted very long ago. Hey there is a sycamore growing 20 feet away from it in another
yard.
Super bragging rights if you can ID this. Consolation prize and much appreciation if you can at least tell me if this is one of the alleopathic woods. Have a great day!
