Northern Red Oak in central Indiana

Northern red oak is the fast-growing, well-behaved oak that actually works in central Indiana yards — it takes heavy clay, handles road salt and city air better than the other oaks here, and puts on real size within one owner's lifetime. Its entire risk profile is one disease: it is the most oak wilt vulnerable common landscape oak in Indiana, and an infected red oak can go from full canopy to dead in a single season.

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
