I think you'll need to give us a bit more info than that....

It's poplar, not popular.

There is a big difference.

 

Search-engines linking you to potential customers seem to think so anyway.

Sorry about the spelling was writing this while balling. Well he want to use it for fire wood for him self. The person who owns the poplar want him to make him a offer for it and he wants to know how much to offer him for the standing poplar

We'll assume you meant bailing, or you have a very patient wife:lol:

 

Apologies for derailing, can't help with the poplar pricing.

I wouldn't have thought it would be of much value, not very good firewood, good for making chop-sticks or wooden truck/trailer decks!

 

To be honest if it was me I wouldn't be paying anything, especially if I had to chop it myself.

Normally people pay to have Poplars removed not a great deal of value in the timber especially as firewood. It burns but I would not step over beech to get to it. I have a pile of 3ft wide straight buts 8ft long if anyone wants to try some.

In the past the two main markets for Pop were matches and cabbage boxes, the boxes are now made from plastic and matches are mostly recycled timber.

 

Not sure if the biomass chip boys like it?? Stobarts might be worth a call to get an idea of standing value for chip.

 

It has some worth, wether that worth covers the cost of felling and removal with enough left over to be buying it standing or even removing for free I'm not sure.

I wonder if he's bailing or baling , with our strange weather either is possible :-).

He could even be a cricketer or into corporate re structuring ;-) . No idea on the poplar either
