Do you mean the tree or what I suspect is honeysuckle that's growing up/handing down from the tree?

Willow (Salix caprea).

That's the tree. There was a lot of ivy growing up it but it was cut before we moved into the house.

Thanks for that. It looks like willow isn't great for the wood burning stove so that's a bit of a shame. Still, it is free at least

Good for a few cricket bats though.

How do you come to the conclusion it's no good to burn?

If it's wood and dry I wouldn't have thought a problem....

"Willow Even when very well seasoned Willow produces poor slow burning fire wood with little flame"

I'll still use it but it doesn't sound the greatest.
