Eastern Cottonwood in central Indiana

The other removal-first tree on this list, and the one most often standing over a house it was never meant to be near. It is the fastest-growing native tree in North America — 4 to 5 ft of height per year, sometimes more, for the first 25 to 30 years — so the little volunteer in a wet back corner is a 60-ft liability within about 15 years.

Large tree · On the hazard list · $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

Also searched as cottonwood, eastern poplar, Carolina poplar, necklace poplar.
