Those you can bank as they take a long long time to rot and even when they start it's just a little on the outside, the rest is still sound as a dollar. Poplar on the other hand will rot in the round unless it's split or bark removed, standing, cut, doesn't matter. Even 100 inch logs will loose a lot of sap weight if let set for a summer, they're not dry by any means, but don't take long to compared to green.
In spring I fell trees early in the morning before the sap comes up for the day.
I took my axe to it. The sap wood is rotten as hell.....but the middle is solid as ever.
