Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)

Ash is another top quality hardwood native to Europe, known for its strength, flexibility, and traditional uses in woodworking and woodland management. Like hornbeam, ash coppices well, encouraging a diverse ecosystem by supporting insects, birds, and fungi within managed woodlands.

As firewood, ash is one of the best choices available. It splits easily, seasons relatively quickly, and burns with a clean, steady flame. Properly dried ash produces a strong and consistent heat output, along with a subtle, pleasant scent that enhances the atmosphere in any living space.
