Usually 40 to 60 feet tall at 1 to 2 feet in trunk diameter — big enough to matter, not big enough to need a crane on most lots. It is short-lived for a hardwood at roughly 50 to 100 years, so removals typically price in the mid bracket, climbing only when the lean puts it over a roof or a fence line.
