Q: Do trees go into shock when transplanted?

• <div><p>Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.</p></div>

Q: Will a tree survive if transplanted?

• <div><p>If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You&rsquo;ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree&rsquo;s root ball needs to be around <b>11 inches</b>. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.</p></div>

Q: What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you&rsquo;re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s limbs. If you&rsquo;re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you&rsquo;re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Q: Can I leave a dead tree standing?

• <div><p>Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.</p></div>

Q: Can I prune apple trees in the spring?

• <div><p>Late winter is ideal, but if you&rsquo;re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn&rsquo;t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won&rsquo;t see results until the following year.</p><p>That said, there&rsquo;s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.</p></div>
