Pine wilt has effectively ended this species in the Midwest — the pinewood nematode, carried tree to tree by pine sawyer beetles, kills a mature Scotch pine within weeks to a few months and there is no cure once it is inside. Extension services across the region no longer recommend planting it anywhere in the Midwest, so in practice nearly every Scotch pine call is a removal call.

What it costs around Danville
A mature scotch pine is a medium tree, which in this market usually puts the work between $250 and $1,400. It's on the hazard list, and that matters for price: a compromised tree often can't be climbed, so it needs a bucket or a crane, and that is most of the cost.
What moves the price
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
Don’t sit on this one. Hazard species get more dangerous and more expensive to take down every season they’re left — the wood goes brittle, and a tree that could have been climbed last year needs a crane this year.
