Are logs worth doing anymore ?

[Chris Sheppard]

Took a load out this afternoon,customer said "i expect you log men will be out of business this time next year,with all the ash trees that'll be cut down you wont be able to give it away"

Its being so cheerful that keeps some people going.

 

Surely any diseased ash will be burnt on site so as not to spread it?

I read that it would have to be buried where possible.

I couldnt be bothered to explain the whys and wherefors to him,took his money,thanked him and moved on.

[tree monkey]

if the spaws are airborne then it would of already spread so on site burning wouldnt work imo.

the wood will have to reach a certain temperature to kill the disease so upto that point it will be active in the smoke will it not ?

I would imagine the gov will use health and safety to send it somewhere but the real reason will be money for the boys.

Burnt, Buried, lead away in sealed trucks - what I was getting at was that I doubted it will end up in circulation for firewood so that's going to up demand even more I'd guess.

I'm too young to remember that

 

But yep, I reckon.

[likeitorlumpit]

Dunno but whatever they did in Denmark had no effect so.................

[hot logs]

I've got tons of ash logs and I'm going to keep hold of every one of them.

 

In a couple of years ash will be so rare they will be worth a fortune.

 

Like an expensive old classic car that only gets driven once a year, ash will become a classic firewood to be enjoyed only by the rich and famous.

 

And I will become the official supplier to her majesty the queen and will be knighted for my services to the firewood industry.

According to FC, currently, infected Ash can not be transported away from felling site. C. fraxinea is considered a quarantine pest.

 

The spore are released from leaf litter, after they have fallen from the tree.
