Wood From A Forest

[matthew65]

I have access to a forest with fallen down ash tree’s ( I think they have been down a while), I’ve been to look at it today, the tree’s I have been looking at have fallen and are off the ground. If the trees are not rotten do you think that once they are split they will be ready this season ?.

Thanks

Almost defiantly yes

That's great news, thanks

be careful over the tensions/compressions on said trees if not quite on the floor

In theory, ash trees are pretty much ok from felling for firewood.

 

Id say a bigger problem may be getting the OK from the owner to nick his wood!

[matthew65]

Not a problem getting the wood as it belongs to a friend of mine, had a good first day due to go back again over the next few weeks.

As above poster said - be wary of 'hung' trees which have not fully fallen. Best practice is to get them on the ground before cutting up. Other than that you ash ought to be burnable.
