What wood is this?

Hi there. I need some help here. I am not sure what king of wood is this. Is either Mulberry or Orange osage. I got it already in the ground so it was a little hard to identify. The wood is yellow in color and if it get a little direct sun it turn to a lite brown.

Not sure, but I think Osage is yellow throughout. No sap wood change of color. It also looks a little too green to be Osage. It is nice looking.

Sure looks like mulberry to me. The bark looks more like mulberry than orange. I turn a LOT of mulberry.

This is from some knobs on the end of polled mulberry limbs. You can see the similar color

My Guess is Russian Olive, does it smell bad and have grainy fibrous bark?

It would be helpful to see the bark, but I think mulberry as well for the sap wood reason given above.

Definately mulberry. It turns beautifully. I made a candlestick from it yesterday.
