Thread: Cedrus Deodara (Deodar Cedar) tree timber

Hello all,

New to the forum but am curious if anyone is interested in some timber.

I am in the process of having tree loppers quote me on the removal of 3 trees.

One of them is a Cedrus Deodara (Deodar Cedar) which is very tall and straight. I am told that out of the lot it is possibly a great tree for timber (firewood & construction) if anyone wants it otherwise it has to be cut up and scrapped.

I hate wasting anything so hence this post.

If interested in this tree and cutting it up to your own preference let me know.

Info on the tree:

over 20m. The limbs don’t start until approximately 5m up the trunk.

It is a hardwood and as per the attached info I found in the link below here are some of its supposed uses – “It is used in house building, beams, floorboards, door and window frames, furniture and general carpentry.
It also produces quality plywood”.

Search google for photos of the timber grain.
