Q: What do you cut palm tree branches with?

• <div><p>A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm">Pruning a tree</a> is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.</p></div>

Q: When should a leaning tree be something to worry about?

• <div><p>Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.</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: Is it OK to cut tree roots that are above ground?

• <div><p>If you aren&rsquo;t sure what you&rsquo;re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree&rsquo;s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. </p><p>It&rsquo;s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it&rsquo;s a very small tree and you aren&rsquo;t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.</p></div>
