[Hills Hoard]

Had some strong winds last night and more predicted today so I packed the chainsaw and my gear in anticipation. Spotted this pile of wood on the way to work this morning. Already cut to length. Had one look and thought, nah, thats crap wood and drove off....5 min down the road the wood hoarder in me took over and found myself turning the car around to go and grab the best bits...even if it is crap i'll burn outside. Any ideas on what it is?.....thanks guys...

Note: you wouldn't know its mid winter here in oz by the photos would you. Its been really mild this week. I want icey cold and snow in the hills damn it

Looks like a fast growing tree species. Typically lower on the BTU scale here.

Nice score none the less.

Global warming ! ?
Well not here so much , Summer & it got to 56°f (13° C) today

OK cheers.....i'll split and dry and use it for out side next winter...

Sounds like we are having very similar temps too..haha... Although there is a cold front coming through so i'll be lighting the fire first thing tonight!

I have heard of Green wood before but never seen it .

Thanks for sharing.

Someday I hope to be lucky enough to visit your Continent.

Neat stuff y'all got down there! Almost looks like a palm, but rings say otherwise. (Palm is a monocot, like grass, corn, rice and wheat, and has no rings). Hope the rest of the winter treats you well, HH.

EDIT - May have Looked up (Lacebark?) and think I have it "looking" back at me LOL...(cool pic)

You are a champion....i think you have nailed it! nice work....i have to admit i wasn't convinced from the link you posted, but upon further searching i have to agree..

From what I read this tree shouldn't have been growing this far south either...

I'm thinking either lacebark or some type of young fig tree........from the research I just did on the 'net.....
I'd love to fly over there and spend a couple weeks in your beautiful country!

Is it possible that that wood is oatmeal?
