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.
