Typically lower in density than oak
Tyloses often found
“Flame-shaped groups of LW pores”
![Page 6: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

#33: Slippery Elm (or Red Elm)Ulmus rubra
EW Pores often in “several” rows (2-6)
WOW! Look at those ULMIFORM LW PORES!
![Page 8: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

row separated by smaller pores”
![Page 9: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
#35: Hackberry Celtis occidentalis
Heartwood Color: Cream, light brown or light grayish brown w/yellowish cast
Earlywood: More than one pore wide (akin to Slippery Elm)
Latewood: Pores in wavy bands!! (Hackberry is in the Ulmaceae, or elm family)
![Page 10: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
#36: Red Mulberry Morus rubra
Loaded with tyloses! But, some samples have few to no tyloses…
LW Pores are in “nestlike groups”…sometimes forming concentric, interrupted bands – but not nearly so pronounced as in the elms.
![Page 11: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
#37: Osage Orange Maclura pomifera
LW pores in nested groups that form distinct concentric bands
LOADED WITH TYLOSES: “USUALLY COMPLETELY OCCLUDED”
![Page 12: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
#38: Kentucky Coffeetree Gymnocladus dioicus
Nested LW pores more isolated, sometimes coalescing
EW Pores in 1-few rows; open (no tyloses)
![Page 13: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
#39: Honeylocust Gleditsia triacanthos
Looks a lot like Coffeetree – Don’t separate!!
Note the heartwood color of #38 & 39

![Page 20: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#46: HickoryA True Hickory: Shagbark Hickory Carya ovata
Note the “fishnet” (or “lace-like”) pattern in lw, formed by intersection of the fine rays and banded parenchyma
True hickories are ring-porous
![Page 21: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
#46: Hickory - Pecan Hickory Carya illinoensis
Pecan hickories are semi-ring porous…this looks like a poor example! (See next slide)
What are these diagonal, whitish lines???
![Page 22: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
#46 - Hickory, Carya, spp.
True Hickory Pecan Hickory
![Page 23: Forestry 280 Features of Woods 28-47](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814830550346895db5522c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
#47: Tanoak Lithocarpus densiflorus
Wood is DIFFUSE porous
The wide rays are “aggregate rays” that tend to be irregularly-spaced on the cross-section
