>>1604284I'm an apprentice forester with a little experience in industry. I worked on a job in south east England a few months ago that involved felling about 18 Wellingtonias and 30 Thujas that belonged to a man in his 80s who planted them as a preteen. He was convinced he was sitting on a goldmine and tried to pay us for the job in timber, but even big redwoods and cedars are still softwoods and can't really be used in construction. Instead we got paid for the labour in cash knowing that most PNW conifers are really only good for toilet paper, chipboard and garden furniture. I doubt we would've found a
buyer for the timber in that region easily.
Now bearing in mind these are 70 year old trees at the most and the best examples of PNW trees are 250 year old Abies firs in Scotland and northern England, they're still fairly valuable for their age, but you're gonna be waiting a long time to make any real money.
