Generally yes but look at DRAX much of the stuff provided by renewable
growers is willow asrc.


Not logs though. The point about biomass willow is that it's either
coppiced (best) or whips. No-one is growing willow logs for fuel.


I have a tree of it in slices,. Gave up splitting em. Bitch of a job and
they don't burn.


I had some no good wood to burn once, and it wouldnt stay alight at
all. Think it was elder. What worked was to create an outer perimeter
of it around the edges of the grate, then build a fire with good wood
in the centre. Gradually the elder all got burnt.
