Hi, I cut down this tree yesterday (upstate NY) and noticed an interested red pattern in the wood. Any ideas on an ID? Thanks.

Yep, box elder, manitoba maple and a whack of other names  :D

So are those vertical streaks red?  And if they are, is this flaming box elder?? (I am being serious)

My grandfather cut a huge one down years ago in the yard, a good 30" through, and bucked it up and hauled it back on the hill to rot. Never even used it for firewood. I remember how red/pink the heartwood was to.  ;D

Coxy it's up here in NB everywhere in the settlements because everyone planted the stuff and it spreads like a bad weed. ;D

 wow SD its a wonder it don't freeze to death up there :laugh: what is it mostly used for or is it junk wood ;D

It's hardy, but has a lot of die-back on the branch tips. It grows natural on the Prairies in Canada. Can't be no colder than them Prairies. ;D We don't use it at all around here, except someone possibly burns it for fall heat. The only burning I did with it was bonfires to get rid of it. ;D

I think the neighbors have tossed some in their OWB. One of theirs went down, and I think they was 3 years burning it, just tossed a stick in once in awhile. I kind wondered what was taking so long cleaning up that tree. They would just cut as needed, a couple chunks off. Might never go near it again for months. ;D
