Will a tree survive if transplanted?

• <div><p>If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around <b>11 inches</b>. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.</p></div>

What temperature is too cold to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.</p></div>

Q: Will a palm tree regrow from a stump?

• <div><p>Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don&rsquo;t offer future growing potential.</p></div>

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment.
