There are entire businesses fueled by it as you say. Line clearance companies, and tree toppers (brush harvesters-(Blair)). Used to be nurseries and outlets(super fast turnover) but they were finally forced to diversify when municipalities banned them (like ours-Cinci) and some of the public wised up.
