The numbers are out of date but the methodology should still be sound.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.
