Ever wonder if that big ol’ tree in your yard is worth more standing or stacked? Here in South Georgia, not all trees are created equal—and neither are their paydays. At Tree Willy, we get asked all the time: “Can I sell my tree?” Well, if it’s a big, clean white oak, cha-ching! That beauty can fetch up to $1.50 a board foot. Pecan’s decent, cedar smells great but pays “meh,” and pine? Let’s just say you’d make more selling lemonade on the corner.

 

Stack ‘em up: White oak > Pecan > Cedar > Regular oak > Pine. Size and quality matter—ugly trees get ugly checks.
