The piss yellow one I split today, the other one was split in November. It came from a friend of a friend's neighbor(?). No idea what the tree looked like, it was kinda cut up when I got it.
Yup its one of my favs.Quite plentiful around the Midwest & parts of the East & South.Will turn from bright yellow/yellowish orange to golden brown/dark brown in a matter of days/weeks upon exposure to sunlight & air.Great burning,very good heat,can be stubborn to split occasionally & will sometimes throw a few sparks.Well worth the effort though IMO.
I think it is mulberry, but I would have guessed White Mulberry, which seems more common (definitely more common here than Red Mulberry) and gets bigger. I have never seen Black Locust this yellow in color, and definitely not turning reddish after a while like mulberry does.
