Do I cut down my Dutch elm diseased tree?

• <div><p>You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/elm-tree-identification.htm">identified it as an elm tree</a>.<b> </b>Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.</p></div>

How much should you trim an apple tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. </p><p>If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.</p></div>

Q: How damaged can a tree be before it’s considered a loss?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than <b>25%</b> loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove a tree stump is by burning it or grinding it. You can rent a stump grinder and do the job yourself or hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">local arborist</a> or landscape specialist. Before burning a stump yourself, be sure to check local burn laws. Drill holes in the stump, fill them with vegetable oil, and wait 24 to 48 hours. Add charcoal bricks to the surface, then light the fire. Attend the fire at all times.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a chainsaw to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>You can use a chainsaw, but it won&rsquo;t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion. </p></div>

The crew did excellent work but more importantly they exhibited good ethics and customer service dedication. As a small business owner myself, I was able to empathize with some events that occurred and was impressed by how they handled them with me.
