Great firewood. Durable out doors for many years. Regrows from coppice stool. Very little sapwood. And it fed medieval Europe.

Can be easily mistaken for oak, did it myself once.

 

spits furiously, wouldn’t recommend it for an open fire.

 

on the plus side burns down to nothing leaving very little ash 

As far as I am aware, not a lot of SC is grown locally to us, so this took me a bit by surprise. We have a couple more lorries to come in to water it down now.

 

I may mill up some of it for a log store I need to build, and some sheds that are going up on the yard considering its good rot resistant timber.
