Did you see any coconuts on the ground nearby?
Still waiting to see who gets it... I searched these forums and found just 1 reference to it in the past. I was hoping someone here has burned it, it's going in my 2013/14 stack and I'm hoping it'll season by then.Looks like a cross between a conifer and cycad - looking forward to learning the id of that tree! Cheers!

Hint: It's not native to this continent, but it does seem to grow quite well in the pacific northwest among other places

Will do! It's going in my 13/14 pile... but maybe I'll chuck a piece in towards the end of next season and see what happensThats neat! Of course you know that this means you have to give us a full report when you burn this wood in a year or so! I want to know about the BTU's, how long it burns, what the smoke smells like, yada yada yada......lol!
