We have about 200 plus Black Locust trees on our property and we have been kicking around ideas where to market these other then firewood.
I see a lot of fence posts and split rail fences made out of it.
Most trees range from 30 to 60 foot in length and 6 to 18 inches in diameter and straight as an arrow.
We have access to a portable sawmill and sell plenty of firewood (Oak, cherry, etc.) most people's wood burners cannot handle the BTU's of the locust.
Normally I just push them over when the ground is soft and cut them at the trunk so I don't have to mess with the stumps.
Also the same with Hedge/Osage Orange that are growing along with the locust like wildfire.
