Weeping mulberry wood.

[Swmpgrl]

Last year I moved onto a property with a couple of Weeping Mulberry trees. I'm new to these trees. I was wondering if the wood is safe to burn in my fireplace also, how long does it take to dry out enough to burn? Thanks in advance for any help.

I never have heard of "weeping" Mulberry, but we here in PA. have TONS of Red and White Mulberry and it is great fuelwood but is very wet when green and takes a good time to dry out.

Mulberry is a great firewood. Figure 2-3 years drying time. It does throw sparks.

Never heard of any wood (excepting pressure treated etc) that is unsafe to burn. Wood will not start to dry much until it is split. Once split and stacked off the ground in an airy location it should be ready for your fireplace in about a year.

All wood, except certain types of treated wood, is safe to burn in your fireplace. It will burn better if you cut, split and dry it for a year or two. Weeping Mulberry is a variety of White Mulberry and will burn well, but it should be dried a couple of years to burn best.

Mulberry trees in our neighbor's yard are a nuisance. Ripe ones fall in the yard and stain your shoes. Birds eat them and drop them onto your car. On the other hand, they make great firewood.. Be careful. They really snap, crackle and pop when they burn.

As long as it's not man-altered (painted, pressure treated, laminated, plywood, OSB, etc.) or contains urishiol (poison ivy, poison oak, etc.), there is no wood that is NOT safe to burn in your fireplace.

I've told this before, but I had a mulberry laying down in my woods for about ten years. I finally cut it and split and stacked it and moisture was still 22%. No bark on it either. It burned great after sitting another two years

I like mulberry. Any and all kinds.

I like mulberry too. If I CSS right now I would be burning it next year.

You can pretty much burn anything in a fireplace. I'd get it split and stacked now and it should be dry enough for what you need next season.
