He expressed that due to how straight they grew and the fact that there are no low lying branches, I should consider trying to sell them to a lumbar company. I am skeptical about this as there are only about 10-12 tree of the correct size (eastern white pine). Would a lumbar company even be interested in coming out for so few trees? Does anyone have experience with this?


Look in craigslist in your area, yes there are some smaller operations that would be happy to get good trees out and pay you some money. Also if you have a local small sawmill in the area call them up and they may know of individual that would pay to cut them or potentially themself. It is worth a try.
