Planted across the Midwest in the early 20th century as a fast, drought-proof shelterbelt tree, and it has been paying that back ever since — brittle wood, short life, and seed into every fencerow and pavement crack. In central Indiana it is the species most often removed on a general "just get rid of it" basis rather than for one identifiable defect, and it is no longer recommended for planting anywhere in the region.

What it costs around Danville
A mature siberian elm is a large tree, which in this market usually puts the work between $400 and $1,900. 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
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
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.
