I've been offered free firewood from multiple sources in recent weeks, and I expect I'll take advantage of much of it. However, we've had several problems in our area (I'm a close neighbor of BrowningBAR), particularly with Thousand-cankers disease affecting black walnuts, and most recengly the Emerald Ash Borer. My yard has at least 40 black walnuts, so I definitely want to avoid bringing any diseased walnut onto my property, but what about other species? Is there any danger in moving potentially infected Ash onto a property with no ash?
It opens up a wider question, as most have to purchase their firewood, and do not know the source. Knowing much of it comes from arborists, who spend a lot of their time taking down diseased trees, this must be a common issue.
So, putting aside those who are able to harvest all their wood from their own property, what is one to do?
