Q: Can you cut the top off a plum tree?

• <div><p>Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you&rsquo;ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree&rsquo;s vase shape, and limit size. </p><p>A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it&rsquo;s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.</p></div>

Q: Do palm trees have to be trimmed every year?

• <div><p>Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It&rsquo;s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather. </p></div>

Q: Will a tree straighten by itself?

• <div><p>Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.</p></div>

Q: Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren&rsquo;t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use geography to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for tree roots to grow back in the sewer line?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.</p></div>
