Who have you been listening to? Someone else who makes the same rash statements?

Box Elder is used for woodenware and paper pulp. It does make a poor firewood but has more BTUs than Pine and lots of people burn Pine. AND there are lots of folks who make maple syrup from it. I know of a fellow who has 200 of them that he taps to make syrup for sale.

"No value for anything?????"
