Found out largest tree (and one of the fastest growing) produces very highly valued wood.
What is keeping people from buying a forest, chopping out the old growth, planting sequoias and grow rich?
How to get into foresting?

There’s very little old growth forest left that’s not in designated wilderness.

When aliens look over artifacts of our ruined civilization they may stumble upon this post as evidence for how fucking retarded humans were

Thx crossposted
I don't want old growth.
New growth, chop it out, profit, plant new sequioa's.
Wait till I retire, chop half, profit bigly, give valuable forest to offspring.

Why?
Most of our forests are new growth anyway.
We chop it all the time, not all at once off course.

Don’t they take like hundreds of years to grow?

Issues with soil erosion where sequoias grow
Limited land availability
Tress grown plantation style are worth less than naturally grown trees
Inconsistent supply proves hard to reduce production costs.
I could go on.

me grand pappy owns land and sells the lumber when he can. last time he cleared the land and sold the lumber for 40k, and that was back in the 60s. i reckon it's time for him to clear it again. i wonder what he'll get this time around.
