Pine trees grow like weeds here.
A 70-foot pine tree is likely 20 or so years old.

Most of these are tall and straight enough to produce
lumber so the guy who is clearing the lot is not
charging anything as he will sell the logs,
which will more than cover his cost to clear.

My father had ten acres of that kind of "Weeds" cut a while back.
The sale of the logs was enough to retire on for life! Nice of
the guy to not charge you for making him a small fortune!

Logs that size bring from $1,000 to $3,000 each!
