I can get a picture of the bark tomorrow but I figured you guys could probably ID it with just the leaves. :)
cherry
Black Cherry?
Probably. The twig should be covered with noticeable little dots. If you scratch the bark on the twig, there will be a distinct sweet/sour odor. If you chew the leaves, they will be a little bitter and astringent.
Yes to all three.
Thanks guys!
If you have any big logs, I want them :D.
As a matter of fact... ;D
How big is big? Big enough to choke an LT-15? How about an LT-40?
Cherry also has little black resin ducts at the point where the leaf edge meets the petiole (leaf stem). It is possible a few leaves may not. The midrib on the underside will have fine brown hairs up it.
Okra,
Big enough to choke either one will be fine ;D.

I don't see either one of these. ???
The little hairs on the underside of the mid-rib are delicate, and probably did not survive the process.
It's about 22" diam. just above the flair. How does that rank for a cherry tree?
#1 in my book :D. I covet big cherry.
What I want to know, is when are you going to mill it up. ;D
With pictures ;D. We know that you know how to do it dadgum you, Charlie! .
It's going to be a tough one to get. It's laying in a thicket at the bottom of a fairly steep slope.

Should be a good test for this:

Like I didn't know that. ::) ::)
Sorry Okra, but it's a one-of-a-kind North Georgia custom designed original. :)

You might know that, but not everybody does.
Pippin meant the cherry log, not the arch-- although, coming into think about it, knowing Pippin, he might be ambitious enough to get both. ;D
I was talking about the cherry log. :D
Ok, the log may be one-of-a-kind, but whether that's the case or not, I'm getting ANOTHER one-of-a-kind cherry log!!!
