we manage a small apple orchard, Just curiouse if there would be a market for the wood we get from trimming branches every year?

I am not sure if there would be a very big market for it or not. Here apple would is used to smoke fish though. Alot of folks on the coast use it to smoke salmon and mackeral with. I have tried it on white perch as well as alder and it came out great too.

You'll probaly get a few takers.Apple is a geat wood for smoking subtle and smooth.

You couldn't give me any. Unless you do not spray your apple trees. All that spray has to get into the wood. There are enough carsinogens in regular smoke , don't need to add and pesticides to the mix.[:'(] I use only heart wood( no bark)from mature trees, small branch trimings wouldn't work too well as they are mostly bark (very bitter) IMHO

When we had our smoke house, we sometimes used apple wood.

But mostly Hickory.

Most people would not pay for something that they could go out and cut themselves.

Apple wood would be good to sell at a state park - where there was people camping and they wanted it for firewood. Makes a nice pleasant fire that burns well and leaves a nice fine ash.

The ash is good for in your cukecumber garden.
