Default What Trees

I have a lots of area to grow trees in so space wont be a problem for me.
This at least gives me some idea of how much I need before I start to use
the new trees.
I have several huge holly infected trees that need to come down so this will
tie me over for a few years at least.

Regards

The message
from "fredhead" contains these words:

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?


Only if the area is wet enough in summer. Ash is fast, and better as
firewood.

Btw 20 trees won't provide a useful amount of firewood until at least
2016, more like 2026.
