The size of your trees is a crucial factor in determining their marketability and value. Typically, we look for trees that are at least 16 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH), which is measured at about 4.5 feet above the ground. This size ensures that the trees are mature enough to provide high-quality logs suitable for timber production.
However, the specific size requirement can vary depending on the tree species and overall quality. Some species may be valuable at smaller diameters, while others may need to be larger to achieve marketable quality. Additionally, trees with straight trunks, minimal branching, and few defects are generally more valuable.
If you are unsure whether your trees are big enough to sell, we can conduct an on-site evaluation. Our experienced timber buyer will assess the size, species, and quality of your trees and provide you with an accurate appraisal. This evaluation will help you understand the potential value of your timber and the best harvesting options for your property.
