From memory I think 1 quintale was about Eur 50 - 100kg's of properly seasoned fire wood, you could get a lot of quintale's out of a mature tree but it wont be seasoned. Personally I would treat every tree I own as a valuble commodity casue I have a couple of stuffa's and woods chaeper than gas. If you have fire / log burner I would keep the wood for myself.

Cut/dried and delivered to my door, cut to (roughly the size) for my stufe = I pay circa 14 Euros per quintale (mixed woods, oak, false acacia and others) The false acacia grows a little like weed here and is reckoned to be VERY good wood for burning, with little smoke or spitting. Very hard and has VERY sharp spikes. There was a chart on this Forum a year or two ago giving all the differing aspects of wood regards to their burning qualities........ S

Thank you for your help, even though it is still difficult to value the tree. As Sprostoni wrote, it grows like weed on our land, so we have more of it. We will not install a stufa until next year and we are mostly here in the summer, but I think we will wait for him to make us an offer and decide after that.

If as you say "We will not install a stufa until next year " Now is the perfect time to cut it down, cut it into logs, and let them dry out for next year when you'll need them

Prices vary. I just paid exactly 10 EUR/quintale for wood - mostly false acacia - cut and delivered.
