Was just wondering if there is a specific time of year to cut green firewood so that it will dry and cure the best. My family cuts wood for burning every year, we typically would cut it in February to be cut and split in March/April to be burnt the following winter. I have heard some old timers say you should cut the trees later in the spring so they still grow leaves laying on the ground and this helps get moisture out of the wood faster. I have also heard others say that if you let the trees grow leaves, this causes loss of some the woods heat energy.
Any thoughts?
