Certain wood is more plentiful than others. Walnut, ash, and maple are common where I live, and used for firewood. Cherry is fairly rare--as far as I know, everywhere--and is not used for firewood. It is primarily made into expensive furniture. My question is, with a renewable resource like wood, why is any wood that is produced from a living tree rare/expensive? Why would people not plant a forest of cherry trees? Not only would there be a viable source of the wood, but an abundance of the fruit (which is also expensive)?
