Q: Will bleach kill a tree?

• <div><p>Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a palm tree is dying?

• <div><p>When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that&rsquo;s a sign the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">tree is dying</a>. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It&rsquo;s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you&rsquo;re sure it&rsquo;s not coming back to life.</p></div>

Q: What does a dying tree trunk look like?

• <div><p>There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that&rsquo;s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-remove-tree-4-ways-tell.htm">time to cut the tree down</a> so it doesn&rsquo;t fall.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of the year to prune shade trees?

• <div><p>Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter&mdash;between February and March. That&rsquo;s because it&rsquo;s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.</p></div>

Q: What temperature is too cold to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning can impact cold hardiness&mdash;but it&rsquo;s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don&rsquo;t want to prune trees when there&rsquo;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&rsquo;s pruned.</p></div>

"Excellent service. They responded quickly with a very reasonable price following an on-site observation. They showed up with a well coordinated team, trimmed back a large tree, removed all of the debris and left the area better than they found it. The access was very difficult, and they were able to get to the project with a well coordinated ease. Very personable and asked about certain aspects of the job as they did it. I highly recommend them."
