What trees plays the biggest part. If they are a goldmine, someone would pay you. With only 5 acres, you are just gonna have to give them away(if they are worth anything), or pay a guy with an excavator or dozer to get rid of them

FWIW, unless they are magical trees, you aren't gonna get a logger to even drive down your road

I am a former forester and wouldn't bother with it at all. Only reason I'd stop by would be to see if you knew anyone with a bigger chunk of property

I have a square ten acre tract on my property with what appears to be approximately 20 year old loblolly pines planted every 10 feet. The pines were planted well before I bought the property 10 years ago. I haven't done the math , but I'm guessing there are 800-900 of them. I've considered having it clear cut. Am I in the same situation as the op where it's as likely to cost money as it is to make anything?
