    Default Pine tree value

    What is the average value of one acre of mature pines?

    How long from planting to harvest?

    I dont want to get into a long discussion about loggers and foresters. Just answer the damn question.

    Its not like I'm coming on here asking about my broken arm or "target anxiety" wtf that is....

    pines.
    one acre.
    value
    over time

    thanks

    and yes, loggers suck and tear shit up and leave.
    and, yes, I like toilet paper.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Mature planted pines (25-30 yrs old) grown for timber production you are looking at roughly $2,500-$3,000/acre. It’s going to take 25-30 yrs to get to a final harvest depending on a lot of factors: genetics, site prep, soil type, etc. typically you will thin twice over that 25-30 yrs. Once at roughly 15 yrs old and again at say 20ish years old. Each of those thinning should generate around $300/acre. These numbers are variable obviously based on markets, location etc. This is for loblolly pine.

    Here's a 29 acre track that was cruised in October 2020. Send me an email and I'll send you the file.

    It came out to $1860 per acre. I didn't cut it.

    Updating the figures, the current price would be about $2200 per acre,....not counting the increase in tonnage based on 2 additional years of growth.

    Now here’s another question, how many acres of mature pines does it take to build a 2500sqft house?

    50 to 75 acres depending on grade of wood
    Once the mill starts cutting oversized slabs, then size the wood, then grade the wood. They only mill certain size trees , the big one in grandma’s yard, they don’t want

    In northeast columbia you can grow four houses per acre which would make land worth $80,000. They will burn the trees to make room for the "green space" between houses.

    Probly worth a good bit, but you'd have to come out of pocket to get someone to be willing to deal with your mood swings and soccer shenanigans
