Just received this in the mail from Arizona.
Was told it was Palo Verde, but the bark doesn't look like that of any Palo Verde images online.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

From here it looks like
Ailanthus altissima, aka Tree of Heaven

Thanks Tom. Have one of those right down the street so I can compare.
I mean, I'm going to turn it regardless, I just like to know what to write on the bowl when I'm finished.

The interior looks right. If it is Palo Verde you will know it by the smell. It is pungent to say the least. Very unpleasant.

Thanks Jon. It definitely meets that criteria. The smell is indeed quite unpleasant.
Being told it was Palo Verde, I looked it up online and the bark isn't the least bit green, nor as smooth as most of the Palo Verde bark images appeared to be.
