What kind of home can we find for a bunch of black walnut trees in Chicagoland?
“Last time I explored this with my woodworker friend (four years ago) he told me a Black Walnut with a 12′ tall stem would fetch ~$5000” Maybe for a tree with a very large diameter, completely knot-free 12′ tall stem, but this would be an extremely rare case. You’re average black walnut is not worth anywhere near that sort of money. Many become firewood. Bobbyno, you might offer them on ForestryForum.com or on an appropriate section of Woodweb‘s forums. Somebody there will steer you in the right direction.
