Trees

[AngliaGT]

We have an 80 year old cherry tree,& an old apple
tree that were here when we moved in 31+ years ago.They're
getting eaten from the inside out,so they need to come down.
We're going to donate the medium parts of both trees to
Blue Ox Millworks,owned by a couple who works with kids,help-
ing them learn to build things by hand.

Can we burn the other limbs (not the small leafy ones)
in a fireplace?

Those are beautiful hardwoods. You can burn them, but I'd try getting as much as possible milled first.

Very hard wood Doug, burns slow when dry and makes romantic fires Doug.

Also do some shavings and use em in your bar-bi

Might want to let them season before burning. They will burn better and produce less soot.

Mmmmmm.. cherry and apple, good wood for smoking meats. Local BBQ chefs may really like to get the smaller branches from you.

How do you "season" it?This is happening too fast,& I'm
trying to do the "right thing".

Let it dry - stack it, off the ground and preferably covered - let the air circulate and use it next year to burn.

apple tree,but haven't attackted the cherry tree.
