More Poplar!!

hi Peter I need it in 6-8" that way u can just cut it in a processor without the splitter. The machine will take up to 8"

 

There will be a least an artic load of 6/8" out of these trees, we would normally chip or burn up to 10" but if you could use it then we it may be worth talking.

The bottom line is that it will go for biomass, Thetford power station is not too far away. It is nice clean stems tho and I thought I would try to explore all other avenues first. As mentioned I am getting a lot of it so want to try to find the best market I can for it. I got another dozen reasonable sized ones coming down in Jan and would like to find a home for them also.

Poplar....a much maligned species ,let us not forget this is the quickest growing british hardwood and there are many positives to boot
