Thought the Sawyer crew would like to see a true beast of a Black Walnut this tree has been estimated to be one of Ontario's oldest trees a real old growth tree over 400 years old! To nice to cut but their will come a day when she comes down and it will make a fine table! My arm span is 68" and I can't even reach around the curve.
Yes Weatherby usually pays a pretty hefty price for them! A friend of mine was going to buy some ground with a lot of mature walnuts on them, but the owner had it logged first before he bought it. He was a little upset at first but someone told him about contacting Weatherby. He did and ended up getting more money for the stumps /root balls than the owner got for all the timber! Iam not sure if he was giving me a line of B/S or not but that what he told me.
Really hmm cause I just happen to know where some good size stumps and root Balls are that the farmer doesn't want.
That might be something to check in to. Tell him you'll remove them for a minimal price! But get someone who knows what their talking about to take a look at it with you before you get serious about the removal .
I'm from Toronto, Went to Niagara last October, didn't notice the tree but theres so many and lots of land to explore there. Cut that tree open and it would be a disappointment. Lok at all the hardware screwed into it. Bummer. I bet there'd still be bidding wars if it had to come down
