I know guys on a woodworking site don't like to hear the B word. My daughter has 4 trees that need to come down, all look sickly. 2 are Mulberry, 1 Cherry and the other is a Black Locust. Will these burn ok in a wood stove?

Absolutely!
Save the cherry for special occasions. It really smells good!

Black locust will burn long and hot. It makes great split rail fences and posts, as it is naturally rot resistant.

Black locust was my fuel of choice when we had a wood burner. It's a great wood for burning--gives a lot of heat and burns slowly Just like Scott said.

Locust is probably the best wood to burn. I don't like burning cherry for a number of reasons (would rather work with it, doesn't burn that long or hot...but it does smell nice), sorry, don't know about mulburry but it might make a nice project wood if you let it dry...or maybe turn it?
