• <div><p>Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they&rsquo;re dormant (leafless).

Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you&rsquo;re ready to plant it.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest way to cut down a tree?

• <div><p>The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you&rsquo;re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you&rsquo;re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). </p></div>

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: Can you grow a grafted tree from a branch?

• <div><p>A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don&rsquo;t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project. </p><p>You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It&rsquo;s most common with fruit trees.</p></div>

Q: What time of year should you not trim trees?

• <div><p>Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.</p></div>

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material.

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size.

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’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.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.
