benevolent tree surgeon in Leeds?

[Sequoia]

Hello Gents,

I run a small tree business in Hampshire and give a lot of wood away to various friends and organisations.  Admittedly, this is green and directly from site as I don't have the yard space (or desire) to process logs for sale.  I am looking for someone in Leeds to offer something similar for my sister.  She's a midwife at LGI and so is careful with her money.  No Lawson, Leyland, Cypress or Hemlock.  It can be in cord as I will process when visiting and can be tipped on private drive.  If cash is a factor, then I shall pay you for it.

Thanks for reading this.

She would be mad not to accept soft wood you mention . I have been burning mostly Leylandei this winter and it is superb .  Oh , just thought , is it an open fire ?

I have burnt Leylandei and cedar and both burn well if you season well and give out good heat.

Going to be doing a decent size job in adle soon which will produce a fair amount of timber if she can collect it's going to be free, chestnut lime cherry and sycamore.

What are we to do to get softwood accepted!

NO Lawson leylandi  cypress or hemlock, WHY NOT it all burns when dry, Lawson and sitka on my stove as I wright this gives good heat and better than some hardwoods , even if you take a mixture of both soft & hardwood your more likely to get a regular supply than being Choosey, I have several tree surgeons I collect timber from,  I take some softwood but 70% I would say is hardwood and at the moment have more than I know what to do with.

Apart from stocking the stove up say at bedtime where some slow burn stuff like oak is good i think lawsons and leylandii are great - nice hot burn, light to handle and plentiful. Dont understand folks who wont take it.
