My neighbour has a fairly big oak tree on our common border which has to come down as it is causing subsidence to both our properies. It is about
24 metres high. It is very well proportioned and the main trunk and branches are all pretty straight.The question is - is the timber worth much for resale and if so what lengths should it be cut into. Any other recommendations also?
I'm prompted to ask, because when we lived for a time in India, we had to get a tree removed and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the contractors paid us money to do the job as the timber was worth much more than the labour for doing the job.
Wish it was like that here.
