Q: Should I remove a tree close to my house?

• <div><p>A tree growing close to a house can cause problems, but cutting it down isn&rsquo;t always the best solution. Trees planted close to your home could damage your foundation as their roots grow. In addition, they can drop large branches on your house, make it easier for critters and insects to access your home, and encourage mold growth. But if the tree has been there for a long time, it may not pose a risk to your foundation, and it could be more beneficial&mdash;not to mention cheaper&mdash;to strategically trim it instead. Your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-call-arborist-save-tree.htm">consult an arborist</a> for advice.</p></div>

Q: How far back can you prune a plum tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. </p><p>Never remove more than 30% of a tree&rsquo;s foliage during pruning&mdash;even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.</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.
