ID these logs please

Just been to collect some winter burning from my local friendly farmer, and amongst it is a large amount of these. They are incredibly dense, I initially thought they were a hawthorn/blackthorn family due to the weight and colouring, but the leaves make me think more of a fruit species. Anybody any ideas please. Thanks in advance.

The leaf and bark would suggest some form of Pear.

I think its "ALDER"   (not elder!!!) .        Google "Alder"then  go to images and you will see plenty  of pics of Alder , see what you think.

Would agree looks like alder, tends to be straight and tall, my experience is it can be prone to going mouldy quick, but burns well and dries fast, assuming it is Alder [emoji106]

Thanks for all the useful information guys. It’s wood, and once dry it will burn and heat my house, which is all I’m really bothered about, but it’s always nice to know what you’ve got!!

Alder is certainly very orange, as this is, so a good possibility, just not sure if the leaves match. Alder leaves appear to be more “ruffled” on the edges.

And Alder isn’t dense or heavy.
