Alder
Growth - a height of 8m after
10 years, 15m after 20 years and
a final height of 25m.
Low Quality. Although Alder wood
tends to burn quickly when fully
seasoned, it gives off little
heat.

Apple
Once the seasoning processing
begins Apple wood becomes
extremely stuff - it needs to be
seasoned well. So, to save
yourself some hard work at a
later date, ensure that you chop
the logs whilst they are still
green. Apple wood burns with a
gorgeous aroma, and doesn't tend
to spark or spit.

Ash
Growth - a height of 8m after
10 years, 11m after 20 years and
a final height of 35m.
Probably one of the best woods
for fuel, burning well even when
green, but obviously when fully
seasoned it burns even better,
producing lovely flames and great
heat. at an even rate. Use the
branches for kindling. Due to
it's low water content, it is
comparatively easy to saw, chop
and split.
