Bradford Pear drying time

[Andy S.]

I've got a lot of Bradford Pear in small rounds (3-4") that was not ready for last year. I have it in the stack for next year. I also have a lot of larger rounds that I'll be splitting in the next couple of weeks. I'm wondering whether to stack it so I have access to it for later next season or should I write it off until 2016? Thanks!

It's very dense & makes nice firewood. I would guess 2 years, but maybe someone else might think one year is enough?

I had a coworker loose one to lightning and I got some just before the city picked up. I burned it later that same year and it was great. I wish I had been quicker then I would have had the entire tree.
