About 25' high. Buyer has to dig it out and move it. What do you think
I
ought to get for it ? (upstate NY) My neighbor thinks at least $100.

Dig it out? It's only use would be lumber and at only 25' high there
won't be much usable wood. Good for firewood.

You have to be nuts to burn a Walnut tree. Full grown Walnut trees are
going for over $1500 here for lumber.
Dig it out - you might be picturing digging by hand. That's not the way
trees are moved. There is a hydraulic clamshell type device that mounts
on the back of a tractor for digging trees out.



I have many black walnut trees on my lot. When one of the really big (30
inch diameter) ones blew over a couple of years ago I could not find anyone
willing to pay me for it, and I called around everywhere around here in NJ.
They would come and get it if I paid _them_ however. They all said there
was no demand for it. I ended cutting it up for firewood and it seems to
burn just fine in my fireplace - no problem at all there.
