Cypress tree

[ApusApus]

Basically you can cut down any tree and burn it but you need to let it season for a while, ie dry out, otherwise you will end up with a smoking mess and not a nice burning log fire!

Just cut one down about 25ft got a good trunk question can you burn them on a house fire or are they like our conifers which I don't burn back home full of sap.
Thanks Neil

It is not very special to burn Cypress in your fire place. Important is that you split it when fresh, otherwise you can't do it later and relatively small pieces. At least two years drying time and even then it will smoke quite a lot. After that experience I used it only on the outdoor BBQ in the past...

Thanks I'll leave it on field next to me some will pick it up

It would be better to leave it on the road some 20 m away from the next best house, this is the Cypriot way to show that it is abandoned stuff (any) and people will take it what ever it is.
