In the woods around me the this species makes up almost 50% of the trees . It seeds itself prolifically, like birch, and quickly fills in any open areas. It grows relatively quickly considering how hard and dense the wood is, but doesn't get much beyond 12 inches trunk diameter. Makes outstanding firewood, and tool handles or other objects where a durable wood is needed, though it's not rot resistant. It would be a good species for a tall hedge as it takes to pruning well when young. Thanks for letting folks know how to find this great tree.
This tree grows wherever I move, too. It is growing in my garden now. It's doing well. It's super happy . I will have to find somewhere to put it. It's a baby.
My sister and brother cut down one of these trees. He made a wooden mallet out of one. Perfect wood for that The wood is so dense and heavy in weight. I wonder if it burns well?
Is it good firewood being so hard? In my permit area someone cut down two of these and left them. They aren’t supposed to fell live trees but anyways I’m gonna cut them up and bring it home. Never heard anyone say “that darn ironwood is sure good firewood” like you do park or Maple
Awesome.. This video helped me confirm that I found Ironwood in a forest near by.. Thanks.

This was a fantastically done video, so informative about the different characteristics of this tree.
