Dead tree ID

[sxmolloy]

Hi.

Can anyone ID this tree please. No leaves as it has been dead a good while by the looks of it. I didn't think to take a picture of the surrounding living trees I'm afraid.

Cheers

The lenticels on the bark in pics 2 & 3 are reminiscent of poplar but beyond that it's hard to tell in those pics

Looks like dead ash to me, is it a complete dead tree or is it a limb from a surrounding tree? Some pics of surrounding area might help

First thought for me was Ash as well.

I thought willow to begin with but have since changed my mind as the fissures (sp) are not very deep. Ash may be a goer as it burns well in the log burner.

This was the main trunk, not very large really, and there was only one branch coming off that, which may be due to the length of time it has been dead for. I'll try and get more and better pics if/when I revisit the site.

Cheers for replies so far chaps.

Maple? Just a wild guess

Looks a bit Goat Willow. Not a good burner. If it's Ash, it's quite an old bit. It doesn't weather well.

Another one for Ash.

Yeah, the more I cut, split and burn the more I think it's Ash. Which I'm really glad about from a burning perspective. Thanks for all the replies.

Cheers
