American Beech in central Indiana
The smooth gray bark makes it the most recognizable and most sentimentally defended tree on a property, which makes removal conversations harder than for any other species on this list. It is also the least forgiving of construction disturbance, so the majority of beech decline calls in newer subdivisions trace back to grading or trenching done years earlier.
Large tree · $400–$1,900 typical
