Value of Black Cherry

A friend just called with a horror story.  Her tree service accidentally cut 
down the wrong tree -- her prized, mature "Wild Cherry".

This was a black cherry, Prunus serotina, approximately 30-feet tall and in 
excellent health.   

I gave her the names of several local certified arborists, but they say they 
can not do an appraisal because, unfortunately, the tree has already been 
hauled away.

The company has offered to plant a replacement tree, but, of course, this 
tree is not replaceable.  She is not planning to go to court over this, but 
would like a rough estimate of the tree's value so she can have some leverage 
in her dealings with the offending company.  

If anyone on the list has a copy of  Guide for Plant Appraisal, the Manual 
for Plant Appraisers, or some similar source, and would be kind enough to 
look up this information and send it to me, I will really appreciate it.  

Thanks!  --Janis
