FarmVille, the farm simulation game from Zynga, gives players a handful of ways to earn cash (which can later be used to upgrade your farm). The most straightforward way is to plant and harvest crops, but there's also the option to raise farm animals and plant and harvest trees for a profit. There's still a lot of discussion on how valuable trees are to the FarmVille farmer, our tip is to make a lot of FarmVille friends so you get trees (and rake in the profits) without spending any hard-earned coin.

One number-crunching fan came up with this list of the trees with the highest daily revenue (keep in mind that these numbers do not take into consideration trees that were given as a gift, which means they cost $0, so your profits will be even higher if that's the case!)
