Positive NebraskaHick On Aug 2, 2012, NebraskaHick from Saint Libory, NE wrote:

There is a woodlot near St. Libory, Nebraska of about 3 acres. Half of it is Yellowwood trees, some are very tall. This plot is quite old, as there are many trees that have been on the ground for some time. It is a great firewood, almost as hard as oak, and burns with little ash. Even after being on the ground for 10 years the interior of the logs are solid, only the outer layers are rotten, even on trees as small as 8".
