Take this in consideration when determining whether or not to treat your tree for protection against emerald ash borer. It's an easy guess to say it will be near one thousand dollars to remove a tree right? Let's do the math to remove that tree.
$1000 Removal
Cost to replace. Let's use $200 as a conservative guess.
$214/year loss from the original tree. How many years until the new tree can provide the same benefits? I really have no idea. But I would be comfortable saying at least 12-15 years. Since I wasn't a math major, let's go with 10! $2140.00 loss in benefits from removing the old tree.
$3340 is our total! Can you believe it?!? I haven't even figured in the loss in value of our home with the loss.
In order to have saved that tree, it would have only cost $300. My math tells me that's a good investment.
