Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>

Q: How far down can tree roots go?

• <div><p>The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a palm tree is dying?

• <div><p>When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that&rsquo;s a sign the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">tree is dying</a>. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It&rsquo;s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you&rsquo;re sure it&rsquo;s not coming back to life.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a tree surgeon or just a regular tree company?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re taking down a tree that you don&rsquo;t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it&rsquo;s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">dying trees</a> without infecting nearby trees. </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>

His expertise in knowing the species of the trees as well as reasonable recommendations as to the best way to solve the problem I had, was excellent. The price he quoted me was very affordable.
