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'm quite aware of the machinery to move live trees. You are unaware of the
value of a small walnut tree. Walnuts are ubiquitous and of value only when
VERY mature. I've burnt walnut larger than your tree.

No shit Sherlock - that's why I posted the question. But I was offered
$100 for it 5 years ago. So I guess you don't care what you burn.

So now you mention you were offered $100 for it 5 years ago. Too bad you
didn't take it. Now you ask for advice and when you don't like what you read
you get testy.
I care very much what I burn in my woodstove, and walnut, while acceptable,
is at the bottom of the list. It is a good way to get rid of worthless wood
in an area were open burning it not generally permitted.
Do you realize that a walnut has value solely as lumber? It is an
undesirable tree for residential use. A 25' tree will require generations to
mature into one of commercial value, so it is unlikely that a purchaser of
your tree will see any financial gain.

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.

That's the way it goes. If you had a truck load of logs-not trees, but cut
and trimmed logs-there would have been great interest.

That was when it was about 10' high.

I asked for "what I should get for it" - you didn't say other than to tell
me "I was unaware of the value".

Google walnut and you'll find a few other uses.

Actually I had the entire tree horizontal, uncut at all at the time. No
interest.

No problem Sarge. I just am hoping that there is more interest wherever it
is that you are. Good luck with this.

Maybe leave it grow for a while and then sell it as real walnut to someone
that will appreciate it as furniture. (hope you're not in a hurry)

Why do you want to get rid of it, messy?

10-4 those are better than a walnut tree for most applications.
