Wood Identification

[brianhabby]

Does anyone have any idea what wood this is please? It's been knocking around my yard for a few years and I decided to cut it this morning. It has a beautiful yellow inside.

Thanks & regards

Looks like apple or silver birth

I'd say definitely fruit wood.

Looks like apple to me

Thank you for the replies, I think the most likely is probably apple, pretty sure it isn’t silver birch.

.....It looks a bit too yellow for Apple in my opinion. I have some sections of a couple of Apple tree's that I cut down more than 10 years ago and it is much, much more White than the OP's pictures.
Do different species of apple tree have different coloured wood...? ( I have no idea what type of apple trees mine were!...)

At least one piece looks like cherry to me from the bark. Lighter in colour than I would expect, but it happens.

I would tend to agree with cherry - the bark of the piece at the back is certainly not apple, and is like cherry. But with so many varieties of flowering cherries around the wood colour will vary.

Another vote for cherry.
