How much does this Oak tree worth. Crown is balanced with no fork

Circumference is 250 cm. and it is near road side.

May need to take it dawn to widen the wood access.

OK, I'll put my head above the parapet.

 

Where did you measure the circumference? Just looking at the picture I would say 2' diameter about halfway up the clean length to the kink, which I would guess is 15'. If so, that's around 37 Hoppus feet.

 

If it is part of a full lorry load you might get £6/Hoppus so £220 but as a single tree £4/Hoppus is more realistic so £150. However, if you want it gone and something in your pocket then accepting £2/Hoppus would give you £75.

 

The above all assumes extraction to roadside - otherwise you are dependent on finding someone local with an Alaskan who wants some oak, in which case take what you can get.

Thanks Alec. Really appreciate your help.

I have measure it at my chest level and I am 172 cm tall.

No extraction needed as it is just few meters from the gate which a cross A road.

OK, bigger than it looks so probably more like 60 Hoppus, in which case as a single tree £120-240 depending on how much someone wants it. Note, this is a price for it as a sawlog, not a standing tree, so the buyer could be reasonably confident that there was no major internal defect.

Dont get too excited about it until it hits the floor. It may well be a nice sawlog but it may also be firewood

One that I thought I was going to mill :thumbdown:
