Hard to see. Elm? If it is yes you can burn it.

Not familiar with fire places cuz we don't need them in S TX.lol. Are there woods you can't burn in a fireplace?

Hedge, Osage Orange. Same tree. Builds up lots of creosote which can lead to chimney fires.

American elm

My fireplace guy says not to burn cedar--too much buildup, and not to burn lots of mesquite as it burns too hot. OK to throw a log on now and then, but no pure mesquite wood fires according to him.

Here's a link to a site that has a chart of different woods and their +/- for fireplace use--

I think it is teak wood. very rare and valuable. You should cut it into small pieces and sell on craigslost

Looks like non-bearing mulberry to me. It is sort of hard to determine, but the leaves sure look like a mulberry. If it is mulberry, then you can burn it, but it is not one of the really good woods for making fires.

American Elm. You "can" burn it, but there are a ton of better wood types to put in a fireplace.

Not sure Terry but it does not look like the Elm tree I have. Maybe a different type of Elm
