Q: Do landscapers remove tree stumps?

• <div><p>Removing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-copper-nails-kill-tree-stumps%E2%80%8B.htm">tree stumps</a> is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company. </p></div>

Q: How many roots can you cut before a tree dies?

• <div><p>Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don&rsquo;t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-arborist%E2%80%8B.htm">arborist</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a tree myself?

• <div><p>While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it&rsquo;s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it&rsquo;s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What trees should not be pruned in winter?

• <div><p>Trees that flower in the spring&mdash;like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear&mdash;should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you&rsquo;ll actually remove what would&rsquo;ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.</p></div>

Q: What tree has the deepest roots?

• <div><p>The shepherd&rsquo;s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over <b>230 feet deep</b>. Some African communities refer to it as the &ldquo;Tree of Life&rdquo; since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.</p></div>
