TIL that green wood from a silver maple splits in 3 days if you let the bark crack first

My oak pile sat all winter and still fought the maul, but I cut a maple branch in June, left it in the sun, and it popped apart clean after I saw checking lines all over. Anyone else found a quicker drying trick for softwoods other than waiting a full season?
