Sassafras in central Indiana

Nobody plants sassafras in central Indiana — it arrives on its own along the back fence, the treeline and the old pasture edge, then ends up on a quote once it has grown tall and skinny over a shed, a fence or the neighbor's drive. It is a brittle pioneer species that gets tall faster than it gets strong.

Medium tree · $250–$1,400 typical

What moves the price on this one

  • How much canopy is coming off, and how high the work is
  • Whether a bucket truck reaches it or a climber has to go up
  • Clearance work over a roof, a drive or a service line costs more than open-yard
  • Number of trees — a crew already set up prices the second tree lower
  • Debris volume and haul-off

Also searched as white sassafras, mitten tree, ague tree, Sassafras albidum — people often describe it by the mitten-shaped leaves rather than the name.
