the hardest challenge of all would be to identify the species of logs from the ashes after they have been burned

That’s why I’m asking before 🤣

That’s not sap, it’s a gummy secretion caused by bacterial canker.

Mixture of cherry and plum.

Remember them on a plum tree we had when I was a kid.

No apple?

The surgeon who dropped them off said it was mostly apple.

Maybe the 3rd one but it's not possible to say for sure. Apple is pretty nondescript still it starts to develop some bark shedding and cracking.

 

Give it a sniff, apple wood is quite distinctive.

Looks like Cherry and Plum to me, Apple is smoother and flaky. Agree on the third looking like apple and it does shed bark when older.

That’s how I found out it was cherry 😂

Some are really red inside and distinctive but the larger ones have little colour but the distinct smell.

The one I think to be Apple smells fruity I don’t believe it’s cherry.
