Trees Value Beyond Lumber in Yard Care
The national shade tree conference outlines a value formula for home yard trees. It cites examples: a 14 inch eastern red oak or sugar maple in excellent condition at $923.40, an American elm at $369.36, a core tonwood or Chinese elm at $184.68, and a ginkgo at $1 846 80. Species value depends on life expectancy, wood durability, growth, health, and location. It advises choosing Moraine or Skye line locust, red oak, bur oak, hackberry, Sweetgum, sycamore and Kentucky coffeetree for planting this fall. Trees provide shade, wind protection, framing, screening, and noise absorption, and soil testing fields ahead of fall crops is urged.
