Dying/dead apple tree in my garden - is it advisable to use?
Posted: 10 Sep 2010, 14:21
Hello all,
I moved into my new place last week and there is an apple tree about 4 metres in height standing in the garden with its bark slowly peeling off. It is still upright but I have been told that I need to cut it down as it is dead. I am thinking along the lines of chopping it up and using the wood for smoking on my ProQ Excel. There is a nagging thought in my head that if the tree died of some disease whether this would make it unsafe to smoke food with? Just wondering whether anyone else has any experience of this or could offer some of the usual top quality advice ? Cheers, EB.
