selling poplar

[dan b]

Does anyone know where I can sell 200 plus Poplar trees, they were planted 55-60 years ago so are all big. I have a small woods to clear in the dorset area. Thanks in advance.

What sort of size?

 

normally goes for pallets or for kinderling

My experience of two years ago with a certain biomass buyer was. They clear felled them destroyed the hardwood around the pops to greedy grab more timber. Then deducted a margin for moisture content then paid up a long time later. It was a charity owned woodland as well. So my recommendation is be careful if you go down this route. Have a clear understanding before it commences.

 

Thankfully you are a long way off from these particular greedy vandals, but nonetheless take care. I don't imply all biomass merchants are the same either. Just bitter experience that set this struggling under managed woodland back a few decades needlessly for little return.
