My cherry tree has not put out any twigs or leaves for 2 seasons in a row. It is dead. I would like to make some lumber, or, maybe cut it into chunks to make turnings. The trunk is about 18" in diameter and 9 feet tall. I do happened to have acreage and a backhoe. Decades ago I read that you are supposed to bury the trunk for something like 3-4 years. All suggestions appreciated. BTW, tree is in the Northwest. Lots of rain.
