Computing for a tree’s worth depends on its timber quality and durability. The most valuable trees when it comes to woodwork would be walnuts, oaks, maples, and of course, hickory. Like all other trees, hickory trees are graded as high, medium, or low quality. High-quality hickory wood is at par with the famous red oak amounting to $20-50 per log.
Medium quality hickories are used in cabinetry and other crafts. Tagged as low-quality oak are not put to waste because they are sought after by restaurateurs for their grilled meats. Other than that, the nuts are commercially sold as they are used for baking and savory cuisines. Nuts that are not that edible provide food for wildlife and other animals. With these as the basis, we can say that hickory trees are worth the money.
