Q: What do I do if a tree falls on power lines in my neighborhood?

• <div><p>Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reliable arborist near me?

• <div><p>Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:</p><ul><li><p>Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I&rsquo;m having?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any third-party certifications?</p></li><li><p>What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do you need two peach trees to produce fruit?

• <div><p>Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to prune trees in the summer?

• <div><p>Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it&rsquo;s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year&rsquo;s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.</p></div>
