The concentrations of metal that would occur from natural hyperacclumulation is actually much less that what occur in the process of pressure treated wood for common commercial uses like decks and building materials. In this case any wood that accumulated metals would be harvested for useful products that benefit from being decomposition resistant. Think wood used in the outside of buildings. Trees like poplar are often used for phytoremediation projects. There's a lot of prescient for doing this in scientific literature. Check out a few papers here: Chen, E. L., Chen,Y. A., Chen, L.
