Leylandii

[Danny Boy]

any leylandii (sorry softwood) you cut now or the next few months will have less sap & moisture anyway!

 

woods wood at the end of the day. dry lleylandii will burn as well if not better than wet oak.

I leave Leylandii at least 2 years - after that there is no sign of resin and it burns in a top class way. Ideal for kindling, can be split down to matchsticks betweens whorls.

 

I tell all my customers what they are burning and the relative merits - they love it as well (for wood burning stoves only mind - it does spit).

i love the stuff, smells great and burns very hot. I have made my living for the last 13 years off the back of Leylandi's, its my favourite tree:thumbup1:

i never said it, you did:001_rolleyes: ya crazy rope swinging river nutcase:lol:

[Stephen Blair]

Touché!

 

That said, I will concede that Leylandii smells lovely when burnt, but it's not something I'd ever bother with again unless it was free.

I love the smell of itin general, cutting it, trimming it, logging it, burning it and even picking the sappy stuff off the hair on my arms on a night out:biggrin:

Saying things like 'I love Leylandii' only backs up the 'I'm a bit nuts' persona implied by your avatar!

 

He is deffo nuts..........in a good way though

 

 

 

I think connie is crap for burning, up and down every 20 minutes loading the stove cos it burns too quick.
