Depending on who you believe the 66,000 Palm Beach County citrus trees removed during the state’s canker eradication program were valued either at $500 million or absolutely nothing.
An expert for the plaintiffs in the class-action suit filed on behalf of Palm Beach County residents who had their trees cut down said large trees were worth as much as $700, according to Susan Salisbury’s story in the Palm Beach Post. A state agriculture official, however, testified that the state’s position is that trees removed during the 11-year program had no value.
