Tree Murder !

You should season all wood, to stop build ups in the chimney.
Eucalyptus is great to burn, as it contains flammable oils IIRC.
I think it is one of those rare woods that you actually can burn wet, but it would still be better a year old.
I did that with a tree I got and it was excellent burning wood. Wish I could get hold a few more....

Hiya,

Ash also is a wood that you can burn green as it has a low water content and is high in oleic acid.

"Ash, however, is a very dense wood and burns so fiercely that significantly less is required to produce a given amount of heat. This flammability is due to the way that Ash stores food reserves within the wood (Xylem). This is in the form of an oil called oleic acid (a fatty constituent of olive oil)."

Ref.: under "Timber Properties" Woodfuel

"Ash, the “Queen of Firewoods” has such a low moisture content, even in a live tree, that it counts as dry firewood on the day it is felled. Even when very dry, ash still burns steadily for a long time with a small flame and lots of heat."

Hope this helps.

If you are going to use the woodchip on a shrub border, use something else as a soil improver, then lay down some groundcover, plant your shrubs through slits in the membrane of your choice then cover the whole lot with your woodchips
