Black Maple in central Indiana
Effectively a sugar maple variant — often classified as Acer saccharum ssp. nigrum — told apart by darker, droopier, mostly three-lobed leaves and small leafy stipules at the base of the leaf stem. It matters practically because it handles heavy, moist clay better than true sugar maple, yet it is routinely sold, mapped and invoiced as sugar maple, so what a homeowner believes they own often is not what is in the yard.
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
