Leylandii for burning?

if you get it planked, its worth a fair bit. If split already, burn it.

here i get 6-9" a year. about the same as oak.

Yes, where are you, and have you got photos?

So maybe the leylandii's not for burning, but the yew is for turning? Didn't MH Thatcher have a shorter version?

Otherwise known as getting wood ...

Blimey, only once a year? I keep getting e-mail asking if I'd like some pills to fix that, want me to redirect them to you?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Rod saying something like:

She's been out of her tree for years.

For several of ponds, not a very big bit. Enough to make a small bowl or big cup, perhaps.

Nah, you know you want me to have it for making a gunstock, and turning/carving the rest, don't you?

Starts nicely, but rarely gets its second wind.

I am in North Yorkshire, no photos at present but can do tomorrow.

it burns fast and hot, but you must let it dry for at least a year from the time you cut it down

Given that the question was asked in Jan 2010, it is probably dry enough by now :-)

Depends where it was stored grin.

I found that most of the conifers produce some foul smelling gasses when burned. Brian
