A lady responded to my CL ad, saying her and her neighbor have approx 1 1/2 acres of Buckthorn they want to clear out, and wanted to know if I wanted to try some as firewood.
From searching around here, I see it's pretty good but usually not worth the effort.
I told her I'll take whatever they have over 2", then the rest she can put out to the curb and the town will take it.
Or should I just have passed on it all together?
It seems to season quickly, so it should be good to go for next year... and fairly dense as well.
Now considering it's an invasive species, should I be concerned about it taking over my neck of the woods?
I do have some wooded land with no Buckthorn currently.
Should I be concerned about bringing it over?
I'm not taking leaves/brush or anything from it... but I'm sure some seeds and fruit might have got rubbed/smeared on it and end up near my house.
Are there any laws preventing the transport of it?
I see it's illegal to transport in Minnesota, but couldn't find anything about it being illegal elsewhere.
