Hey Studs,
Got a lead on this a few minutes ago.
Looks like some type of maple from what I can gather...not sure though.
Any ideas, thoughts, or experiences?

Thanks

Its not a tree, but can anyone i.d. this plant?
I have a few patches of it growing in my woods.
It has a very strong odor to it thats hard to describe, but you can smell it from 10' away.

My Google-fu has come up lacking..

It's in semi open areas that have a higher canopy, mainly on higher hilltops for what thats worth.

Its not sharp or 'pokey' like I typically associate with a thistle. The stems seem very woody, if that makes sense.

Also, does not flower, and seems to stay relatively green most of the year. I think the leaves fall off late winter? Hard to say when its buried in snow .

If it spreads well and doesn't die, I bet the beginning of the title starts with "Asian" something.

It doesnt seem to be spreading, but yes, I had the same thought.

Our DNR was just at my parents place, found a bunch of giant hogweed.
From what my Dad says, sounds like they are sending a crew out to deal with it.

Is this ash? o_O
IMAG0509.jpg IMAG0506.jpg IMAG0507.jpg

I am not familiar with ash, so I am just checking if it indeed is ash.
I got it with my latest firewood purchase, got a reduced price for accepting it as it is generally undesired as firewood in my area.
It bucks easily making 1-2" long chips, straight grained rounds split nicely with my ax, knotty rounds are impossible to split, has a sweet like smell, feels much much lighter than beech and oak.
The surface underneath the bark is polished like smooth, the bark has a lot of moss on it.
It seems "soft" compared to beech and oak.

Thanks for any info You can provide. :)

I have very little experience with ash but that does not look like the ash (from the wood to the bark) I have seen around here.

Everybody in my area calls this wood "Jasen" (Croatian) which translates to "Aesche" in German.
Utilizing Google I figured it must be Ash in English, but I am uncertain if that is correct - which is why I am asking.

I don't yet know how it burns, I will find out this winter.

Thank You for Your reply.

It may very well be ash. My research shows there are several species, including a European Ash.
