Just an FYI,
I am in Kentucky, and all our surrounding states, they have had a bug, called an "Ash Borer" that inflict our Ash Trees.
Unless the Ash were treated, they are now dead.
This happened three or four years ago, when hunting, you see all the Ash with bark falling off, and they get brittle. It is not uncommon to see thirty inch Ash trees that are broken in half from the wind, 15 feet above the ground.
Ash might go the way of Chestnut in America.
There are restrictions on transporting fire wood across state lines...
