Hackberry Tree

You on pain meds and using a chainsaw? Good luck

Firewood?

:pagingdownshift:

We'll use it for firewood if it's fallen. We won't cut one down for firewood, but if its already fallen then yeah, we'll mix it in with the other wood.

s there any use for one? I'm helping dad bring one down and I just hate to waste all that wood. What says the OB, is there anything I can do with it?

I've just always burned it in my monthly bonfires (I get alot of fallen limbs). I've always heard that you shouldn't burn it in a fireplace, though I don't know why.

Here is what I do know. Old seasoned hackberry seems to burn just fine. Younger unaged hackberry seems to "pop" like hell.

Never tried it in my fireplace though.

It smokes and pops alot and makes a whole bunch of ashes.

Fine for settin fires though.

So disrespectful to the tree

Dried hackberry burns fine in fireplace but not a lot of heat value. Wood Ducks enjoy the seeds, supports lots of insects so beneficial to many songbirds.

That wood us gorgeous it would make a great looking mantel or backdrop for a mount.
