Hi All, hoping you can help me understand what this is and whether it’ll make suitable firewood for next year (or longer if it needs it). A family member has got rid and has offered me the wood.

Sorry in advance - feels like I’m flooding this page with requests but it’s been extremely helpful in me getting to know some land im clearing. I chopped this big old stump up today and now trying to figure out what it is. a friend said maybe oak but I’m not sure at all.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I went back to day for some more pics. It really is a giant if it’s Eleangus - compared to any other pics I’ve seen online. but I am fairly sure you’re all right and that’s what it is! Latest pic:

I’ll have to go have a look for thorns and report back. It really is a large tree. One of the branches has snapped and is hanging off. im doing a bit of path/trail clearance in a local woodland (with owner permission) so really keen to know what I’m dealing with and treat everything with due respect. Looks like a very old tree.

Looked on loads of sites around what tree this could be and I genuinely don’t have a clue after an hour or so of searching. Would appreciate some help in identifying this one. Found in a woodland NW England

Hi, I’ve recently helped a friend chop up some fallen trees on his land. Was thinking about using for some firewood if possible but unsure of what trees I have. A lot of the bark fell off fairly easily so I’m assuming this might make identification even more difficult. the trees were in a woodland in Cheshire, England. wonder if any of you can help me? thanks

Would be really grateful to receive any hard or soft wood logs to be chopped for our burner. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks
