Friend of mine has 110 acres he lives on but does little with the property. It is about 80% forested. I turkey hunt on it. As I have come to know it over the last few years, I have found about 7 what I consider to be large walnut trees. 4' to 5' in diameter 1' off the ground. Several of them have many significant large branches (trunks?) splitting off from the base within the first 4'. And they all have very large limbs higher up.

He's said if I want to do the work I can have one....they are all in the forest and no one but he and I would ever know one got taken down. Does anyone know what specific attributes should I look for when trying to decide which tree??

There is some heavy equipment available as well as trails through the forest so getting the logs out is very doable. I just want to select the best one.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
