Arrow Shafts - What is this tree?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
Once the leaves come out you will be able to tell for sure.

JackCrafty:
I would cut first and ask questions later... ;D   When the leaves are full grown it will be harder to see all those beautiful shoots.

Another thought: You might be able to identify the wood by smell.  I think hazelnut smells like...well, hazelnut?

Okay, in that case...
But the "hazelnut" I know, the one that produces edible hazelnuts, looks really different. I only know Corylus avellana. I think it's time to use scientific, binomial nomenclature again... What "hazelnut" do you say this is then?

Hillbilly:
Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but I'd say it's either a willow of some sort or Autumn olive (Eleagnus angustifolia). The autumn olive is an introduced invasive species that was once widely planted as wildlife food/cover, and is now busy taking over the world. Definitely not hazelnut.

TRACY:
Reminds me of autumn olive also with the growth habit. I can't see the buds to be decisive. Give them a try if nothing else.
