Despite a massive oversupply of storm and beetle wood, rising spruce timber prices were reported in October. This does applies to fresh wood, but also to lower-quality ranges. The price increase was reported in North Tyrol, where the general price level is lower than in East Tyrol. The larger impact amount in East Tyrol causes the average price for total Tyrol to rise disproportionately. Firewood is down against the trend compared to September.
