Well yeah but what I meant is it's not native in these parts .Then again I have blue spruce and it isn't native either .Well maybe in Colorado just not here .

Well walnut no kidding won't fetch much around here .Maybe if you had a truck load it might .Oak and cherry does pretty good .Again though to get any money you'd need a lot of it .Small timers might buy quantities for about 10-15 cents a BD ft estimated by weight .Firewood brings more but then...

Well yeah but it still gets cold in Oregon and Washington state .The tall poplars aren't native here .They were just grown as fast windbreaks etc .Often times backed up with pines which aren't native either .Oaks and sugar maples aren't very good windbreaks .

What in the world makes those things get so big on the west coast .The largest one I ever saw might have made 70 feet and 2 feet at the base in these parts .Fact they seldom make it 20 years before they die .
