Q: Is it good to remove dead branches?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it&rsquo;s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.</p></div>

Q: Should I coat the cut branches on a topped tree?

• <div><p>You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn&rsquo;t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree&rsquo;s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">oak wilt</a>. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.</p></div>

Q: How can I plant more trees in my community and beyond?

• <div><p>If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:</p><ul><li><p>Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation&rsquo;s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.</p></li><li><p>Support businesses that plant trees. </p></li><li><p>Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.</p></li><li><p>Donate to a tree-planting charity.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do I need to prune evergreen conifers?

• <div><p>Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.</p></div>

Q: What time of year should you not trim trees?

• <div><p>Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.</p></div>

Ron and his assistant did great job clearing out a tree that had fallen across my driveway. Ron came out the same day I called, reviewed the damage, we agreed on a price and they were out here bright and early the next morning.

North Arkansas Tree Service cut down and removed several dead trees for us. Including one very large, over 100 yr old walnut tree that was very close to my house. They were amazing and took that tree down without a single limb touching my house.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely.

An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.
Support businesses that plant trees.
Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.
Donate to a tree-planting charity.
