Nope. It is almost all maple. There's one or two yellow birch and a couple very small ash; the rest is maple. The 'greenest' one, closest to the woodshed, took power out to about five of my neighbors in a recent wind storm (felt bad about that).
Regarding drying time - nothing I'm cutting here will be used this winter, or likely next, but next winter would work. Many sources deliver in the fall for that winters use. I prefer to cut in winter, mainly because it skids out with less damage, and less mud/dirt to dull the saw.
I like to have it in the shed for at least a year, preferably two. This shed's big enough that we have that luxury. We pull from one section/side, and fill the opposite. If it were all stacked it'd hold about 14 cords. We usually stack just the outside tiers, and then toss in beyond and above that point.
