Power lines can be such a pain. Good luck with that rogue tree.

"The bark, leaves and flowers of this species are poisonous to humans and livestock, and it is also known to cause contact dermatitis in humans."
That is a quote from the previously linked article. It makes me wonder if shredding it up and putting small pieces of it into the air could cause a problem for the person doing the chipping.

We did okay last time 6 months ago with 2 of them. This one is about 3x bigger, but no problems so far --- and I faced the brunt of the dust, grinding the powdery stump (just getting home)! I was far more worried about chipping the poison ivy the day before -- not wanting it to get pulverized urushiol in my lungs!

Okay, we're revisiting this one. I actually got to drop & cut up one of these on Thursday on the City right of way and we saved the log for milling. It is for sure not a chestnut -- it is a saw tooth oak, Quercus acutissima.

What is this? Very flat kinda stiff leaves laerger and with more thorns than I'm used to seeing on similar plants around here.

What is this? It has a similar leaf pattern as walnut or hickory, I forgot to take a pic of it. The wood I at first thought definitely wasn't oak since it didn't have the obvious lines radiating out, but I looked closer and could definitely see them. The bark is pretty smooth with somewhat oak like patterns, but nothing that stands out to me as oak or hickory. Definitely a heavy hard wood, kind of yellowish similar to pine.

Hey all, got a removal request for an interesting one. Homeowner believes its some sort of Chinese tree. I can't seem to track it own. Tree is at least 90' tall, and all the limbs droop significantly. Lowest limb is about 60' up, so I zoomed in the best I could on my phone for these photos of the leaves/flowers. Any ideas?

Yup on the dead/crusty look.

No nuts below this one, so still no clue.

Update on the tree above; got some closer leaf shots w/the wife's iPhone (she didn't recognize it). As described above, limbs are black/silvery, looking almost dead, and bark furrows like an oak.

Doesn't look like any Tree of Heaven I've ever seen. Weed species in most states here.

Might be a "Pendulifolia" cultivar, as listed here on pg. 20:

So, I finished this tree, but now neighbors want me to do little brother that sprouted 20 feet away. See attached pictures of wood core and branch w/leaves and flowers. There was a distinct lemon smell from the wood when cutting it. Heavy as snot due to water retention. Wood core would be almost cherry wood red when cut, and would dry to this color 4+ hours later:
