I am new to cutting wood and new to identifying trees...especially without any leaf verification. I saw a tree on the side of the road after Hurricane Sandy (in NJ) last October and am not sure what it is (see pics). It's difficult to split and stringy. I would love some help, as I am clueless. Thanks in advance! I apologize for any redundancy in my posts as I'm newer to using this site as well and trying to understand it better!
