Black Walnut Tree Question
Only the bottom 2 ft and the burl below ground would be worth anything. It
would have to have wild figure in the burl.

His tree is probably an American Walnut but if it's a Black Walnut what
might
a
Tree like that be worth these days?
Nothing. Other than its asthetic value or value that can be placed on it
for
insurance purposes, black walnuts in the landscape arent used for thier
wood.
The main reason is that outside of thier natural environment, trees are
subject
to homeowners who like to put nails and all sorts of wierd stuff into
thier
trees, and prune them improperly(increasing wound sites that lead to
decay).
They also do not acheive the necessary size in the landscape to produce
the
veneer quality wood that is used for furniture and such.
