Probably a figure of speech, "bone dry" but the one thing that that miserable dutch elm disease DED, does is cut off the water supply to the tree, nasty little fungus spread by small beetles I think. Many or most of the trees have de-barked, so they dry out from the DED, die, then the bark comes off, which is a good thing because you are supposed to burn all of it to keep it from spreading, darned shame too, they have ruined a lot of nice trees, you know like that favorite one standing alone in a field, by a gate or left in a fence row, + all the streets that used to be lined with them.
When the bark is off, they can get wet from heavy rain, but they do dry fast, right now it's been quite dry, cold, little snow, time to get some of it stacked up. Ones with the bark or older standing dead ones, sometimes get soft, but all over this area and part of this state there is an abundance of it, could provide a lot of heat if there was a way to gather and process this material.
