Tree ID Help....It's a long shot!

[Scratch]

Hello All,

Hoping someone here can lend me a much needed hand. We have 2 trees that need to come down to make way for some construction. Problem is, I have no idea what kind they are - which will determine how carefully they're harvested. The link below is to an imagestation album with pics of the trees.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

both trees look like poplar to me.

Bark looks just like the poplar I'm cutting now.

You guys are DanG good! After Dan posted, I went and looked at yellow/tulip poplar pics on the website of the nearest University - and I think you guys hit the nail on the head. Thank you!

Can I use poplar in a timberframe?

Liriodendron tulipifera, yellow-poplar without a doubt. The seed pods give it away in the cover picture.

It is used for structural components.

Definetly yellow-poplar!

Thanks for your help!
