Wife is on my keister to drop a dead Elm in our back yard. I like
Elm as firewood, but it is a pain the butt to split, even with a
hydraulic splitter, it's just so stringy. You'll need a hatchet to
finish the split.<br>

<div>I should have been more clear... These are Chinese Elm
that my parents and I planted in the early 1950's. Old and

30" stump height.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Glad your splitter is back in
service! Surprised you have elm to split. Elm
virtually disappeared in central NY in the early to
mid-1960’s thanks to the Dutch elm disease. Now the
Emerald ash Borer has to this point exceeded 90% kill of
the ash near Syracuse. I was lucky to get ours
harvested just a week ago. The Chinese started buying
ash again and it has made it practical to now sell. I
was told that among its other uses it is treated to look
like Chestnut (I think).</p>
