Q: Will a palm tree regrow from a stump?

• <div><p>Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don&rsquo;t offer future growing potential.</p></div>

Q: What will naturally kill a tree?

• <div><p>In nature, there are many things that can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-do-trees-die.htm">cause a tree to die</a>, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>Trees growing within 10 to 15 feet of your house pose serious risks, so it&rsquo;s worth considering removing them. First, branches that hang over and touch your roof can promote roof damage and moss accumulation, which can lead to leaking. Second, they drop debris into your gutters, leading to clogs and overflow that can promote foundation leaks. Finally, the root systems can grow into your home&rsquo;s foundation, sometimes putting enough pressure on them that the concrete wall cracks, leaving you with structural damage. As such, it&rsquo;s often a good idea to remove trees growing close to your home.</p></div>

Q: What happens to the remaining stump and roots after grinding?

• <div><p>Stump grinding leaves the stump and roots below the grinding depth intact, though they will gradually decay over the next decade. You can grow plants with shallow roots, such as grass, over the remaining pieces of your now-deceased tree. However, you should wait until they fully decay to plant anything with a larger root system.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a dead tree to fall?

• <div><p>It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it&rsquo;s hard to predict the fall&rsquo;s timing, it&rsquo;s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.</p></div>

This was a very positive experience. Paul's information helped me make my decision. I decided that testing was unnecessary, as the material was 90% likely to be hazardous, and the testing process would delay the removal. I treated the issue as if it were hazardous, and had it removed in...
