Get matched with top tree service pros in Holton, KS

Q: Are tree suckers deadly to a tree?

• <div><p>No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.</p></div>

Q: Will a tree live again after it dies?

• <div><p>If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn&rsquo;t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.</p></div>

Q: How close to a septic tank can I plant a tree?

• <div><p>Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won&rsquo;t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree&mdash;but you&rsquo;ll need to know how tall it can get when it&rsquo;s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to leave the tree stump?

• <div><p>Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of the year to prune shade trees?

• <div><p>Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter&mdash;between February and March. That&rsquo;s because it&rsquo;s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.</p></div>
