A branch has come off a larch at the end of our garden. I have a wood
burning stove so I m always on the look out for good wood to burn.
The question is, is it good, at least from a soot and creosote/tar point
of view?

Cut, split, stack, cover wait till next winter or the winter after.
Burnt well the wood and resins will gasify and burn. I'd probably not
put it in until the stove is well hot and there is a good charcoal
bed burning well.
