Black walnut tree - selling possibilities? #853864

Asked October 23, 2023, 9:56 PM EDT

I have a very large black walnut tree in my front yard and was wondering if there are buyers for this standing tree, that would pay for the lumber and cut it down.

Hello and thank you for your question. At this time MSU Extension is not looking to buy any trees. Thank you for keeping us in mind.

No, you got this all wrong. Do you know of any companies that cut down black walnut trees and pay the owner of the tree, because they would sell the wood to (presumably) furniture makers?

My apologies for misunderstanding. I would recommend contacting a local contractor from the Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA) website (https://www.mnla.org/) or a Qualified Michigan Forester (Directory of Qualified Foresters by County (michigan.gov)).
