Bald Cypress in central Indiana

Every November this tree generates the same call: a homeowner who thought they bought an evergreen watches all the needles turn rust-brown and drop and reports a dead tree. It is a deciduous conifer and that is normal — the real central Indiana issue is that developers plant it by the hundreds around detention basins and street strips where it handles the wet compacted clay fine but yellows badly on high-pH soil.

Large tree · $400–$1,900 typical

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
