Q: What kills tree roots naturally?

• <div><p>Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/options-tree-stump-removal.htm">removing the tree's stump</a>. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</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: 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: Do you need two peach trees to produce fruit?

• <div><p>Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.</p></div>
