Large walnut tree fallen advice

[Steve Bullman]

Do you think we could have one thread about Walnut without that bloody video being posted? It was funny the first time, but not the tenth.

 

Tree surgeons think felling a tree always costs money. Forestry contractors look at trees completely differently and often/usually pay for standing timber. Many domestic trees are commercially viable if done as freebies, some are even worth paying for. Most aren't but some are. So if as the OP didn't say that he/she thought it was worth a fortune, please could we refrain from assuming that that is the case? It's just an honest enquiry, and need not be greeted with sarcasm and in jokes.

 

You're right, well moderated

Maybe the tenth time for some, maybe the first time for many.

That's because in forestry there's no dog shyt to dodge, plant pots to move, Greenhouses under the tree and decking to slip on. The list could continue for hours...

I appreciate that. But (for instance) domestic elm is nearly always of better quality than the rural stuff you find, so if often worth paying for. I just bought a standing stem for £450 and it is now in my yard and was very much worth paying for. I had to use a bloody big HIAB to get it out too, so cost me about £800 to get it back to the yard.

 

Anyway, regarding the original post, I am sure that a home will be found for the walnut, but please can you post some photos

Would you be able to post a couple of photos to the forum for folk to see? It would really help with getting it shifted.

Not too far from me. I may be interested but pics are a must. Also could you tell me the diameter.

I woukd only be interested in the main stem once everything is cleared away.

Could you also describe what the access is like too.

Cheers
