Valuing shade trees by size and condition
Forestry expert C F Winslow outlines a practical method to appraise shade and ornamental trees. A healthy popular-variety tree in a desirable residential area is roughly worth one dollar per square inch of trunk at 12 feet, with adjustments: 20 percent for less-demanded varieties, 40 percent if landscape value is weak, and 0 percent if the tree is poor in shape. The value of the land also affects the tree’s worth. these figures offer a rough measuring stick for owners.
