Today I finished splitting the ash we cut this year. I was amazed at the difference from the ash we cut last year in that last year the wood was so dry the bark fell off lots of it while splitting. This year, not one log had the bark fall off or was loose. Of course it also had more moisture. But it was all dead too! No leaves on those trees last summer. So I just thought this was strange and wondered if anyone else has had this experience.
