Q: How do I tell if a tree is dead?

• <div><p>A few signs a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-why-you-should-remove-dead-tree.htm">tree may be dead</a> is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.</p><p>If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.</p></div>

Q: Can you trim just one side of a tree?

• <div><p>You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: Can I throw branches from my neighbor’s tree back into their yard?

• <div><p>No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor&rsquo;s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.</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>
