Hardwood Lumber
Cassens Trees produces small quantities of hardwood lumber using a Woodmizer LT40 hydraulic portable band sawmill.
Many of the trees are obtained from forest management activities conducted on our own timber lands or from salvage.
To maintain quality, lumber is carefully handled, air dried, and finally kiln dried
to 6-8% moisture content. Specific information on lumber drying is
available in the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual, USDA Agriculture Handbook No.
188. The manual is available for $30 from the Forest Products Society
at 608-231-1361, extension 212.
As a small, part-time producer, Cassens Trees is able to supply small quantities (50
to 500 board feet) of lumber at competitive prices. We are willing
to sort for quality, widths, lengths and other factors often important to
small users. We stock a limited quantity of 4/4 and 8/4 stock to 18
inches wide. Upon request we can also produce book match boards and
other highly decorative products. Custom sawing services are available.
To locate suppliers of semi-load quantities of hardwood lumber, contact the Indiana
Hardwood Lumberman's Association (IHLA) at http://www.ihla.org.
For purchase information, please email your requests to dcassens@cassenstrees.com.
Let us know species, quality level, widths, lengths, thickness and any other useful information. Knowing what the
lumber will be used for helps us to determine the quality level needed. Purchasers will be responsible for any shipping
charges. For specific questions please complete the Lumber Information
Request form.
Nursery Stock
Cassens Trees has a quantity of wholesale nursery stock available for digging or potted retail
stock.
There are approximately 100 Blue Spruce trees in the 4' to 7' height range available for digging. The
wholesale price for the entire quantity of 100 trees is $35 each. The color of these trees is excellent.
We also have available Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, White Fir, and White Pine trees in the 3' to 5' height range.
These trees are planted in the ground in felt-liner pots. We will dig your selected trees for you
upon purchase. These trees are priced on an individual retail basis ranging from $25 to $55 and
are easy to transport.
Christmas Trees
We maintain Christmas tree farms in two locations in Tippecanoe County. The first
farm is located near West Lafayette at 5038 Morehouse Road where Morehouse
Road, Taft Road, and County Road 500 North all intersect. Look for the
big white barn and old brick house. At this farm, you will find quality trees up to
ten feet tall, including Scotch pine, White pine, Fraser fir, Douglas fir, and
Canaan fir. The second farm is located on State Road 25 North, just north of Americus.
At this farm, you'll find an excellent selection of Douglas fir up to 9 feet tall, Canaan fir in the
4 to 6 foot range, and some Fraser fir up to 14 feet tall.
At both tree farms, we individually price each tree so you know
the cost before you cut or choose one of our precut trees, which we carefully
select at the right time to ensure freshness.
