Does anybody know definitively whether Ash die-back remains in timber once felled, and how long for if so? By how long, I mean remains a problem and could be transmittable to live trees.

Got the chance to acquire a lot of trunk rounds (felled from Ash DB)  ready for splitting and drying for firewood, but don't want them at the house if there's a possibility of infection. They've been in situ, cut up for 2 months now.

They're using the die back stuff for all its normal uses AFAIK, including firewood. Hence there's plenty around right now. Crack on.

Ash will be fine.

Dutch Elm on the other hand is a big NO NO to moving.  Burn on site ideally.

Thanks both. Weirdly, my normal commercial ash supply has dried up (NPI) and was wondering whether it was connected. Clearly not!

You’ll be reet.

I’m currently part way through 6 Ash trees that have got to come down.

Nice. (well, not for the trees, obviously.)
