Q: How can you tell the difference between hard maple and soft maple?

• <div><p>You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.</p><p>If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don&rsquo;t try using acids or fire for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

Q: How much can you trim a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it&rsquo;s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-use-vinegar.htm">use vinegar around the house</a>. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.</p></div>

Q: What does a dying tree trunk look like?

• <div><p>There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that&rsquo;s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-remove-tree-4-ways-tell.htm">time to cut the tree down</a> so it doesn&rsquo;t fall.</p></div>
