the "generic" trees in your area.

    Ian, when I built my log home in 2001, all of my interior and roof sheathing came as 1x6 t&g. Unfortunately, i had to reject all of it because it was milled incorrectly. The company replaced it with 1x8 white pine

Around here, we got pine, pine, pine, red oak, pine, sweetgum and more pine.  Only the Good Lord and WDH know what else.

     Yeah.  Here it seems like all I ever get to cut is pine, oak, hickory, and pecan.  I do get a fair amount of cedar.  Now and then somebody throws in a live oak for giggles.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to cut more hackberry!  I've gotten pretty accustomed to oaks & walnut, but would love to have more cedar, cherry & hedge to work with.  More than species, it is the grain of the wood that excites me.  For character, give me a gnarly walnut, or a crotch.  But I pay the bills with the straight stuff.

Some day it's gonna be fir, fir and more fir off the woodlot. If the budworm don't eat it first.  :-\

Rooster, am I missing something? I don't understand how this relates- I do have a tendency to be a bit thick of skull though ;D

[pabst79]

On my 80 I would say 50-60 percent is jackpine, which the pulpers like, however I wish I had more hardwood! The rest is a mix of big white pine, red pine, soft maple, swamp oak and some aspen. I did go for a walk about a couple weeks ago and found a couple black cherry down on the creek bottom, that was exciting!

They both make things "thick" in North Florida.  The ticks also like to nest in them  .

[mad murdock]

Most prevalent here is Douglas fir. Then big leaf maple, red alder, WRC, very little western ponderosa. Once in a while grand fir, red fir, and Sitka Spruce.  Probably 90% doug fir, oh and near the coast hemlock, and here and there Madrone.

[Magicman]

My state is really divided with the Western half (where my tree farm is) being predominately hardwood, and the Eastern half, predominately softwood.  Virtually all tree planted land is softwood. (Loblolly Pine).

[shortlogger]

SYP everywhere but we have a lot of hardwood on north facing slopes and in the river bottoms . I often have people offer to give me free dead pine trees if I will come remove them they think they are doing me a favor but I have more pines than I can saw as it is

[Geeg]

I have 60 acres consisting of Hard Maple, Red Oak, Beech, White Ash, Basswood, White Pine, White Spruce, White Cedar, Red Pine, White Birch, Yellow Birch, Poplar, Soft Maple, Hemlock. This is the same for most of the area around here.

[grweldon]

As with the Florida boys, I've got lots of Southern Yellow Pine (Long-leaf, Short-leaf, Loblolly and Slash) with an occasional Eastern Red Cedar or Sweetgum, oh, and a bunch of Pine.  I have quite a few varietys of Oak on my place, all of which I haven't identified yet but many Live Oaks, Pin Oaks, Water, Laurel, Blackjack, Chestnut and White Oak.  Quite probably a few more different types.  Of course there are Pecans and an occasional Sycamore.

Did I mentions we had a lot of SYP?  I'm right there with ya DanG!
