Pound for pound the most valuable tree on most central Indiana properties, and it is nearly always within 15 ft of the house, which makes it the tree people pay for careful work on and the one you never take down casually. Morton also notes that not all cultivars are fully hardy in zone 5, and central Indiana sits close enough to that line that winter injury is a genuine part of the picture.
