How much does it cost to remove a kentucky coffeetree?
Removing a kentucky coffeetree around Indianapolis typically runs $400 to $1,900, with most jobs near $720. The number one coffeetree call in central Indiana comes in May, when the neighbors' maples are fully leafed out and this thing is still bare sticks — it is one of the last trees to leaf out and one of the first to drop, so healthy specimens get diagnosed as dead every spring. The second call is the pods, which is why the male cultivars exist.
Mature size, and the bracket it puts you in
Mature at roughly 60 to 80 feet tall with a 40 to 55 foot spread and an open, irregular crown. It is long-lived, with specimens routinely running past a century, so removals land in the full large-tree bracket — though the open crown and tough, non-shattering wood make rigging comparatively predictable, which can pull the quote below a same-size silver maple.
Condition changes the price
This is the storm performer of the group — arborists rate its limb attachment and wood strength as good under ice and snow, and it comes through Indiana glaze events with far less breakage than maple, pear or basswood on the same street. The qualifier is mass: those limbs are heavy and few, so the rare failure (usually at a preexisting bad union or on a previously topped tree) drops a lot of weight in one piece.
