Elm - did you hit the fence? Be aware that an old fence like that may have grown right into and through the tree. Well, actually the tree grows around the fence.

The elm was clear of the fence, The ash grew into it ,but was cut off above the fence, I'm not sure exactly how I'm going get the rest of the ash stump out.
The 2 elm trees were right next to the dead ash ,so had to come down to.

I didn't think this might be elm cuz the small piece I split pretty easy, I had some elm from a scrounge before but it had no bark so, I didn't know what elm bark looked like, now I do This is green, how long will it take to dry ??

Thanks all, for the help

CSS now and, depending on your location and climate it could be ready for next year. If you have two years even better but it it is needed it should burn. As always, when trying to hurry wood in a single season go with the best airflow spot you have in single rows.

By the time I'm done scrounging up all the dead stuff including the ash all over the place, I probably won't need the this elm next winter, probably use it next spring.

On the Pallet Pete Pallets I have, I'm stacking two rows on the 4ft wide pallet so I have about a foot between rows.
The best place to put stacks would be ,smack in middle of back yard on my 3/4 acre property, not going to do that so, stacks are 10ft from edge of woods.
I was going to have them going N/S, but I think I should have them E/W , so the wind coming from the west can go through the center space, right now only have a cord and a half split, to rearrange.

On the elm drying. When you see the really stringy stuff, that will dry super fast; a matter of a few months. Otherwise, as Bob stated, a year or two if possible for best burning.

Well I guess I'm not going to get any thing but a warm house from my elm

If you look at a vitamin catalog or web site you'll find slippery elm is very popular and is used mainly for the digestive track and exiting the bad stuff like we should do daily.
