    I grew about 20 horse chestnut trees a while back from conkers picked in the phoenix park, they are now taking up a lot of space and I am between two minds about what to do with them. How much would these trees be worth if put up for sale???

    I will probably either just replant them in different places where people will let me and I can watch them grow, or donate them to a park or something, but I ain't sure yet.

    But do they have and value naturally ???

    the main problem you have is that they grow to be a big tree and don't have a use in hedging; i'd say you'd be lucky if you can sell them, maybe a couple of euro each. there's not a market for them.

    Depends on their height. You might get a tenner+ for them Guidelines from www.futureforests.net

    2.50 for 1 inch
    5.00 for 2 inch
    7.00 for 4+ inches

    I'd recommend advertising in the local trader or something.

    Sorry you are right :o

    ' seems to denote a foot whilst " is a inch, thought it was the other way around.

    BTW they are fine trees. Very nice
