Best place to sell Oak trees

JJayoo

Hiya guys, trying to move on some 8-10 year old oak trees, want to make room for some apple trees, and am just wondering what the best option is. I have an additional on done deal and adverts but so far I have had no success. I am considering bring some to a few markets around Sligo but the logistics might hinder this.

Any other suggestions for online sites? Or perhaps people aren't buying trees this early?

Have you dug one up yet?. I would think that the tree could be easily damaged if the rootball is disturbed. Would you need machinery to dig, move and plant the rootball + surrounding earth?. Do you know what species of oak you are selling?. Are you confident that you could guarantee that the trees are disease free?.

Lots of questions

I use a small digger to dig the oak trees up.

Once dug up I would prune off the roots similar to what a nursery would do with machinery to undercut the trees. So they would be sold as bareroot trees.

The species is Quercus robur also called Pedunculate oak. All trees were grown from acorns collected at Tulira Castle,Galway and I still have the paperwork available to show proof of purchase from Coillte.

There maybe a few sessile oak trees amongst them but in general I am keeping all my sessile oaks with the hope of planting 300+ per year out on the land.

Ideally all trees need a stake to help support them except for very small trees up to about 4 foot.

I have all different heights, if for example you had no problem digging 20 holes and putting down 20 stakes then you could have 20 of the biggest which might be 12-14 foot tall.

Or if a person didn't want to be putting in stakes they could have the smaller trees which might be 3/4 foot. Or any size in between.

For 20 of the biggest ones maybe 150 so 7.50 per tree.

Smaller ones would be cheaper.
