Default What Trees


"fredhead" wrote in message
...
I will be planting about 20 trees on my land in France and want to be able
to use some of them over the coming years as firewood for my wood burning
stoves.
What are the best types of wood for this purpose, I know that the wood
will need to be seasoned before use.
What are the quickest growing trees, do willows meet my need?

Thanks
fred


Willows need to be near water to do well.
