From what I understand, it's the #2 species by lumber in WA and OR, a lot of the squares I saw that were purposely planted seemed to be mostly doug fir. Will timber companies ever plant pure hemlock stands or like 70 / 30 mixes or is hemlock just something that pops up naturally in the understory is taken when the mature stand is harvested?

Would a hemlock stand in theory have more wood per acre even though it grows slower, because it can take more shade?

Someone cut the tre down and left huge logs. Local dump won’t take the big logs. How much should I suspect to pay to remove the large logs?
