Q: When shouldn't you prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you&rsquo;d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. </p><p>Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: Does boiling water kill tree roots?

• <div><p>While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.</p></div>

Q: Can I cut off the top of a cherry tree?

• <div><p>You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it&rsquo;s not recommended for cherry trees&mdash;or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.</p></div>

Q: Do I need access to big trees to build a treehouse?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you&rsquo;re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/treehouse-builders/">local treehouse builder</a> before you start the project.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when a tree needs trimming?

• <div><p>Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:</p><ul><li><p>A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. </p></li><li><p>A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home&rsquo;s exterior.</p></li><li><p>A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
