Splitting ash- soon after felling?

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I had an ash tree felled in December last year. Do I need to split the rings quickly? Or does ash get easier to split as it seasons? I think it might get easier, as some of the rings are already opening up, but don't want to make life harder for myself by having it set like rock before I can get to it!

 

Cheers.

As always, every tree is different.  Normally ash is a synch to split green but the only time I had a load it was virtually impossible as the grain was folded.  So I left it and tried it 6 months later when it was a teenie bit easier but only for a brief window before turning to rock.

Get it split.
