How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Q: Can I take or eat fruit from a neighbor's tree if the branches hang over my property?

• <div><p>Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

Q: Can a dying tree spread diseases?

• <div><p>Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it&rsquo;s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property. </p></div>

Q: How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it&rsquo;s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it&rsquo;s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it&rsquo;s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Q: How long will it take to grind a tree stump with a stump grinder?

• <div><p>It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/excavation-companies/">local excavation services</a> to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.</p></div>
