Red oak, hickory, ash, and black cherry stumps persist about 75 years

Evidence

These include members of the red oak group, hickory, ash, and black cherry. These species have wood that doesn’t decay in any particular pattern, but their stumps will persist for about 75 years, placing them in between rot-prone and rot-resistant hardwood species. — Tom Wessels, Forest Forensics, 147
