What Are These Trees?

[tleefox]

And are they worth cutting into logs for the woodburner?

[Camoradi]

last picture looks like ash in which case definitely good for burning

the other two I'm not so sure

[crankedup]

Agreed, it's ash, one of the best of woods for burning on the stove.

[tleefox]

Cheers guys.

Any advances with the first larger trees?

[CDP]

The one in the front of the first picture looks like an electricity pole. They are pretty heavy and impregnated with tar - while they take a bit of starting they will burn well.

[Mr Pointy]

Can you get a picture of the leaves? we might be able to tell then.

[foxoles]

First pic looks like a Beech.

[tleefox]

There are 3 which look to me the same as the first one from the previous pics. Picture of the leaves on each one;







This is the one already on the ground which was suggested as ash:

Bottom one definitely Ash.

One above looks like Elm of some kind, which is OK for firewood but not great. Actually yes, Lime!,

They look like plastic trees to me, so prob no good for the wood burner.

[pitchfork]

Lime (x2) and Hornbeam(red stems) ???

[boyse7en]

They're trees. Let the logs dry out enough and they'll burn just fine.

[MrHappy]

Yep, 1&3 are lime, 4 ash. Not sure on 2.

Regardless, chop 'em, split 'em, stack 'em.

You might get away with burning the ash this winter but my preference would be to leave it all until winter 2018/19 and burn them as a mixed batch.

Sorry, totally off topic but, is that outside the Royal Infirmary in Cardiff?

If so, my office window is in the background.

I think I see an Ambiwlans in the background

Indeed it is. We're demolishing part of the old CRI off Glossop Rd.
