I had this tree blow down in my woods- not sure if its worth winching out and milling or not...any ideas what species it is?
Was growing in low creek bed flood plain if that helps...

Could be mulberry.  Is the heartwood a bright yellow?

That end looks pretty dozey. Maybe the whole thing is rotten. Mulberry does not rot very fast. That looks more typical of a rotted elm to me. The lower part of the trunk might be better.

From the bark I think Marcel is right butternut.

We call that boxwood.  Pretty much worthless if that is what it is.

The first picture looks like a dead for a number of years Ash tree but the second picture looks like a Pig Hickory the way the smaller branches branch off the limbs.

Im going to see if there are others with similar bark and try to ID the leaves when they pop out next month...Ive never heard of pig hickory but there are a few other hickories near.

I am going to keep my bet on mulberry.  I see your pig hickory and raise you one mulberry  ;D.

  I know better then to bet against you but I am stuborn    ;D    I am sticking with Butternut. I just wish we had better pics and a nice cut end grain of the wood on that downed tree.  :)  ( mAlso is I have yet to see a mulberry so have no clue as to what it even remotly looks like. )  ;)

I'm with you isawlogs. Looks like a butternut. Gray bark, dark wood. When butternut gets infected with the blight fungus it dies from the top down and send out a lot of new stem branches. The trees also seem to rot off at the roots first and fall over instead of breaking up.  I had hundreds of them in my WI woods. The blight got them all.

Lying in a low creek bed in a flood plain in Central Michigan = black ash.

I agree with Ron, it looks like black ash.

I'm going to go with willow. I've cut a lot of black ash in the NELP and none of it looked like that. It  looks like the willows I have in my lowland.

My first thought was willow but then I'm wrong most of the time.

I'm in the ash camp, white (possibly green) but not black.  Can you post pics of the terminal buds and / or leaf scars?  Most elm here loses all it's bark and stands naked for years after dieing before toppling over on it's own.
