Want to find out how to sell small amount of Japanese Larch

[Joe Pub1ic]

Site has good access.

Hardcore track right to edge of wood

All trees less than 30m from a 4x4 dirt track

Level well drained site in Yorkshire

 

All trees 60 years old, look to have had lower branches removed in the past

One 30m x 30m pocket to be clear felled (already been thinned)

one 10m x 60m poccket, larch to be removed from hardwood stand (not previously thinned)

Odd larch trees along other 4x4 tracks

 

From reading this forum i know now i need to take some DBH measurements.

 

What the best way of doing this.

Is there any advantage to measuring and marking all the trees I want removing.

Anyone estimate the height of the larch?

What the best place to sell when I have all the information.

 

Cheers

Get a DBH tape and a clinometer.

Alternatively get a relascope and some mensuration tables, with these you can estimate your total standing m3. You can then advertise what you are selling.

I would say always mark up yourself (unless someone you know and trust is doing the felling).

Best place to sell, up to you, but from what I've seen on here.............................here. You probably get as good a price as anywhere.

You could advertise it on woodlots, but I'd talk to the local firewood guys. Unfortunately 20 trees would struggle to cover the lowloader costs of moving machinery any distance

Theres a lot more than 20 trees. Those were the first 10 I measured from each of the 2 areas.

 

Im going to buy a clinometer. then mark count and measre all the trees

They sound the same size as I've felled recently. 43" circumference, about 18m of stick + crown on top. If you can, take some notes on straightness as well.
