I'm clearing out all my fence rows around my 14 acre pasture, most all of it have been scrubby stuff, mulberry and cedars. I've bucked up a few good cherry trees, and have a few more to go. I've got 4 big trees, that I'm not certain what they are, I believe they are and Ash. Let me know what ya think they are.

Looks like ash from the northeast.
 
White ash. I see compound leaves that are opposite in orientation. And the bark looks close enough to ash not to rule it out. I say white, because it doesn't look like a wetland and both green and black grow in wet areas.
 
Thanks for the in put guys... I know mulberry is good heat, but it and hedge are on the no burn list for my wood insert. Plus most of it is small or covered in poison ivy.
 
And just how does Hedge get on a no burn list?

Burns to hot... my Napoleon wood inserts instruction book said not to burn hedge, mulberry, construction scraps and trucking dunnage.
 
I think the manufacturer is worried someone would stuff the stove full of hedge and getting to hot of fire... from what my installer/chimney sweep tells me anyway.
 
I am a bit surprised. Two of the finest flavors of stove chow struck from the list of acceptable fuels. I smell a conspiracy conjured up to corner the market on hedge.;lol

What self-respecting wood stove manufacturer has a no-burn list? Ridiculous. If they are worried about over-firing, well I could do that with any species of wood. Just load it up and leave the door cracked open.

Ok... ya all made me dig out the operating manual for my insert and for the life of me I can't find anything about woods not to burn. So I text my installer/ chimney sweep and he said that the first Regency insert I tried had the no burn list, due to it's extremely small chamber... but he still recommends not burning the hot woods. I'm with you guys as long as I don't over load the stove or get the fire way to hot I should be good to burn a little hedge and mulberry, of witch I have a lot to cut yet! Still not gonna burn a lot of hedge, using it for replacement fence posts!

Click to expand...

Makes more sense. I envy you that you can actually GET hedge! It's kind of likely the holy grail where I live. ==c
 
Yeah we have plenty of it... only have one on my farm and after I take a couple of posts out of it I'll still get a face cord or so... I know of a half mile fence row that is all hedge... I don't think any one person could ever burn it all
