Burning willow tree wood

All those that burn wood for heat. How does this type of wood burn? Is it recommended or just a bad idea. Neighbor asked to move some fallen willow trees. Not sure if I should take it to my place.

Thanks

It'll burn fine. Let it dry out good, it holds a lot of water. It might make a fair amount of ash, not sure.

It will take quite a while to dry but it'll burn.
Cut it now make sure it gets plenty of sun and maybe burn it with some other well cured wood next winter.
