Is a black cherry a good tree to plant in Indiana?
Answered for Mooresville, Morgan County.
The 1950s-60s core carries trees that are now 65-70 years old — full-size shade trees planted with the houses, well over the rooflines and into the primary conductors. Because the town's code contains no tree chapter and no approved-species list, plantings were never steered toward or away from any species, and ash is gone to emerald ash borer as everywhere in central Indiana. That context matters for black cherry: nobody plants it — birds do. Removing a black cherry around Mooresville runs roughly $250–$1,400, and in Highland Meadows, Hadley Highlands and Rooker Run access is usually what decides where in that range you land.

Mooresville's housing stock, and what it means for tree size
Founded in 1824 by Samuel Moore, Mooresville's residential core is mid-century: the neighborhoods ringing downtown — Ray Youngs, Hadley Highlands, Highland Meadows, Brookmoore, Crestview Heights and Lake Hart — hold homes dating to roughly 1956-1969 by MLS averages. A 1990s infill wave followed (Rooker Trace, Rooker Run, Grandview), then newer sections at Bridgemor Village, East Moore Terrace, Lakeside Commons and Country View Estates; population was 9,411 at the 2020 census.
What's specific to black cherry
Nobody plants it — birds do. It arrives in fence lines, back corners, and along privacy screens and goes unnoticed until it is 40 ft over the neighbor's garage, and because it is one of the most ice-vulnerable hardwoods growing here, it turns into a quote after almost every ice event.
Morgan County rules
Mooresville's codified ordinances contain no trees, shrubs or urban forestry chapter anywhere in the code — nothing comparable to Franklin's street tree permit scheme — and there is accordingly no permit requirement to remove a tree on private property. General nuisance provisions (Title IX, Chapter 91) and the Public Ways and Property chapter (Title XV, Chapter 151) are the only places a dangerous or obstructing tree would be reached.
