Juniper

Dave · Oct 27, 2022

So I fell this juniper September of last year to make room at our spring development project. This week we started working on it for this winters fire wood. It is 44 inches across the stump. It has limbs that are 16-18 inches in diameter. We have a little trailer we pull behind a quad. It measures 7 x 3 with just 10 inch sideboards. We figure 15 loads on that trailer is our winters wood. Measured in the stack in the wood shed it is right about 3 cords. Three rounds sawed off and some assorted limbs, we have hauled 4 loads and there is probably half another load still up there. To give you some perspective, that is a Stihl 462 with a 32 inch bar sitting on the stump.

Our eucalypt hardwoods tend to need about 10 years of drying before they make good firewood.

Ain't you heard?
In 10 years ya won't need any firewood. You'll either be underwater or winter's cold temps will be but a distant memory.

No problem here GB, I'm still cutting firewood from trees that died in a drought a couple of decades ago And we have a new batch of dead trees still maturing from our last drought.
Hey, didn't you say that the great ball of fire has gone cold?
