Common Tulsa trees and their stumps
Hardwoods like oak and Osage orange are slow to grind. Softer trees like cottonwood and silver maple go faster. Roots and rot change it as much as species.
Tree by tree
| Tree | Grinding | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Post oak and red oak | Slow | Dense wood, wide root flare. |
| Eastern red cedar | Moderate | Resinous and stringy. Low, spreading roots. |
| Hackberry | Moderate | Common in older yards. May resprout. |
| Callery (Bradford) pear | Moderate | Wide root flare. Suckers from roots. |
| Cottonwood and silver maple | Faster | Softer wood, big stumps. Shoots return. |
| Black walnut | Moderate | Plants near it may struggle for a while, see our walnut note below. |
| Pecan | Slow | Hard wood. Often large. |
Black walnut
Black walnut roots and wood release juglone, which stunts some garden plants, such as tomatoes. Grinding helps, but leftover roots keep releasing it for a time. Pick tolerant plants for the spot.

Questions
Does species change the price?
It can. Dense hardwoods take longer, which raises machine time.
