Cottonwoods are so common, here, that you get pretty sick of pulling the seeds out of your nose and unclogging the gutters all the time. I'm not fond of removals... people don't call you until the things are 90 feet tall and half the bark has sluffed off from lightning strikes. Wood stinks when you cut it, stinks even worse when you burn it.
They're as bad as mulberries and elms about growing up in fencelines and next to houses. I'll never understand why people just let them go until they're in the powerlines or about to crush the house.
Damn, I was sure you were right, Jason. Now I have to download the pic and get it in a graphics program so I can see it better.

I marked a bunch for the loggers to take yesterday and today! Won't pay much, but I want them out of the woods too.
I've been meaning to ask if other people smell sulfur when cutting cottonwood?

No, sulpher smells like rotten eggs or farts. Cottonwood smells like really nasty sweat socks.

That is it!
I was going to propose kicking you out of the game if you couldn't get it!
There were 2 pretty close to each other in a woods I was in today 20" and 22" DBH and probably the straightest logs I've ever seen on Aesculus glabra.

I've definitely gotten a sulfur smell from cottonwood sometimes, but not all of the time. I get a periodic whiff of nasty sweaty socks at random times...I think that is just me though, not the trees.

Aesculus pavia is the only one I know about around here... I didn't know that there were 20"+ dbh buckeyes! A 4" stem is a monster in these parts.
That made it tricky
