I have a friend with some acreage who has a number of paper mulberry trees along the edge of a field, and he is trying to clear that area to use for storage.
I am trying to get a handle on what paper Mulberry is like for firewood. I have looked on the web and some places say it has 25.8 million BTUs but also say it takes two years to season. Other sources say the wood is very light, which would make me think it does not have very many BTUs..
Is there any rate I'm trying to find out if it's worthwhile to save some for firewood?
The same friend also has a fair amount of tree of heaven in the area he wants to clear.
I have tried looking online for information on tree of Heaven and also find quite a bit of conflicting information.
So if anyone has first-hand experience or more reliable information, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance.
