<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf the Willow is grown in a dry and hot location, it would take around 6 months to season. However, if they are grown in a damp and cool location, it would take a minimum of 12 months to season, and in some cases, it would take almost 2 years to dry out completely. This duration of time for seasoning is quite more as compared to other firewood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt takes so much time to the season because willow is lightweight hardwood and hence takes time to completely dry out. Moreover, due to the high moisture content in willow logs, they would rot quite faster if not split properly at the initial stage. So it is always advised to split them before they are stored for drying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is always recommended to burn those willows that are seasoned properly and completely dry. Otherwise, when burned, they would produce a lot of sparks that are not safe as they would have the risk of burning the surrounding areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
