Poplar value... any?

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello,

Just pricing up a job to fell 15 lombardy poplars in a large garden with good road side access.

I was just going to bring the wood back to my yard and give it to hard up people in our village.

However my potential client believes they are worth money.

I personally think any money gained will have to go on reparing the damage done to the garden by whatever machine may be used to extract the logs.

So my question is... How much per m3 is it worth?y

Thanks in advance.

if you can give them away then less work for you clearin them obviously.. i've paid someone to take wood away before just to speed job up..

Thanks for re-enforcing what I was rather thinking.

I will evacuate the wood in rounds and offer it to the poor and needy for free if collected.

The chips... Well I always have a market for good clean chips.

Ta chaps.

I am getting £15 per cube for forest grown poplar at the moment, which is borderline on viability. It is going straight into a chipper for cattle bedding. I could not give it away to firewood merchants.

As above

If you have the facility to mill it, haulage companies might be interested in it for dunnage.

Morning...

Over here, there are many plantations of huge pops, perfectly round with clean trunks.

These are garden lombardys with multiple leaders and thousands of little branches on the stems.

Today though CONI BASHING for cash k'ching!
