When it came to picking which trees to plant at Wildwood, Eucalyptus came out on top. These trees have several unique characteristics that make them ideal candidates for kiln drying logs. Eucalyptus is recognized for its oil extracts rather than the tree itself, and when burned, it uses these natural oils to generate a high burn temperature. The high density of this hardwood, together with its high calorific value, gives it another edge in terms of burn quality. The calorie value of the wood logs will influence the temperature at which they burn. Dense wood will burn for longer.

Those who seek a hot, long-lasting fuel will appreciate the favorable burn time and high temperature. Eucalyptus trees grow far faster than their hardwood cousins in the UK. When compared to our local deciduous trees, they have very little seasonal downtime, allowing them to flourish all year. Eucalyptus grows at a rate of about two meters per year and can be harvested as early as seven years. Environmental benefits are one of the many advantages of utilizing eucalyptus for firewood.

Eucalyptus is a tree that captures a lot of carbon while it develops. That means it collects a lot of carbon dioxide from the environment, helping to decrease worldwide warming’s impacts. All of our kiln-dried logs will be carbon neutral because we use an onsite kiln powered by biomass from harvest byproducts. We have a far lower amount of land dedicated to growing firewood in the UK than in Europe, therefore we now import a lot of our firewood. When imported, wood is a hefty item to transport and has a huge carbon footprint. Wildwood is committed to ensuring our long-term viability through forestry management and the local production of the most appropriate and efficient fuel for Cornish homes and businesses. Purchasing firewood locally is a far more environmentally friendly option.
