How much money can you make from Trees?


Money does grow on trees!

We did research on how much money you can make per tree per year. We do have to make a side note; there are a lot of variables that play a role in your earnings. Climate has a lot of impact on harvest size, the local price for your harvest, and demand. However, this list should give you a good idea of what you could expect.
