Hi Tyke. It's Alder, we grow it, cut it and burn it. Fast growing tree, likes damp ground, really hard but best to season for a year.

You're welcome Tyke. It burns well, you won't be disappointed. It's a good tree to grow too, the goldfinches like the seed. We always set new trees when we cut one down and alder actually seeds around so all good

Do you have any photos of the tree before it was cut down?
