Re: Apple-Crop: Tree Value

[Michael J. Fargione]

UC Davis has a tree and vine loss calculator at: http://coststudies.ucdavis.edu/tree_vine_loss/ Many years ago, an ag economist Mark Castaldi, published a method for determining tree value in the May 1989 Fruit Grower Magazine.  The numbers are out of date but the methodology should still be sound.  I am not sure if back issues are available on-line or from a university library.  Regards, Mike Fargione Dr. Chiranjit Parmar wrote: In India, we have a formula for the evaluation of various fruit trees.  This is widely used and accepted but most courts while deciding the amount of compensation for the orchards/fruit trees falling under roads, dams and other projects.   The figures may not be directly applicable in USA but it does suggest a way how to do it.   Would it help you.   With best regards,   Very truly yours,   Dr. Chiranjit Parmar 186/3 Jail Road Mandi  HP  175001 INDIA.
