What temperature is too cold to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.</p></div>

Q: How long does a peach tree live?

• <div><p>Peach trees don&rsquo;t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn&rsquo;t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.</p></div>

Q: Why are tree trunks painted white?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-are-tree-trunks-painted-white.htm">why tree trunks are painted white</a> in your area, it&rsquo;s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it&rsquo;s something that affects your trees.</p></div>

Q: How can I protect my foundation from tree roots?

• <div><p>Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you&rsquo;re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-foundation-repair-cost.htm">foundation repair costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: When should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it&rsquo;s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">hire a local arborist</a> who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.</p></div>
