Austrian Pine in central Indiana

Morton Arboretum lists Austrian pine as a Problem Plant and states plainly that it is not recommended for planting anywhere in the Midwest. A 15-year ISA study of landscape Austrian pines found Diplodia tip blight killed 84 percent of them and that trunk-injected fungicides made no significant difference, which is why the honest answer to "my pine is browning from the bottom" is usually removal and replacement rather than a treatment program.

What moves the price on this one

  • Height — a 20-footer is a few hundred, an 80-foot oak over a roof is four figures
  • Access — can a truck and chipper get to it, or is everything carried by hand
  • What's underneath — a clear yard versus a roof, a fence, a pool or a power drop
  • Condition — dead and brittle costs more than live, because it can't be climbed
  • Species and wood density — hickory and walnut rig slower than pine
