Gean Tree

I am really hoping someone on here will be able to help with some information.  My very old large gean tree was blown over in the storm.I don't think pulling it up is an option due to how big it is, and the much smaller gean it would have to be strapped to possibly being loosened in storm also.  I have been told that this wood is sought after by furniture makers but don't have a clue where to start.  TIA

Hi,
Sorry I am struggling to understand what you are asking for?
Can the tree be propped back upright?
Is cherry timber valuable?
Photos might help.
Garden trees are not great for milling as often have embedded metal (nails etc) in them. So any value may be affected by that.

There is a lot of Cherry about just now due to the Storms. There is some value in the timber but as been mentioned Millers would not really want to take the chances of milling something potentially full of metal and damage their equipment.

Roughly how big are we talking here? Someone might be willing to take a punt on it but if they have to do all the donkey work in getting it out your garden to somewhere they can easily lift it onto a trailer then you might find you’re having to pay them to remove it.

Most likely you’re better off just splitting it for firewood.
