I have never seen a tree this big. If I hadn't been brushing with a saw probably would have run it over with the skidder and not though about it.

Myself and a good friend picked it up a few years ago for 12k talking with woodmizer the other day they said a order today would have a 4th quarter of 2023 delivery. That mill is about 55k new today.

I think what you are describing is actually Amelanchier, aka, serviceberry, shadbush, juneberry, etc.. Have a berry similar to a blueberry and many people make pies with them.

Logs where cut a year ago so they are pretty dry now. Need to get it cut in the next 2 weeks before it warms up and the bugs get active.
