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>

Q: Do I need to remove the roots of a dead tree?

• <div><p>Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they&rsquo;re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.</p></div>

Q: How much do tree surgeons charge?

• <div><p>Most tree surgeons cost around <b>$100 per hour</b> or between <b>$70 and $200 per hour</b> for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/things-to-know-about-stump-grinding.htm">stump grinding</a>, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it&rsquo;s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.</p></div>

Q: Can an arborist save my sick tree?

• <div><p>It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a horticulturist and an arborist?

• <div><p>Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren&rsquo;t qualified to handle those types of tasks. </p></div>

"Black Panther Tree Service did a great job. They were reasonably priced and got the job done quickly. Our situation was alittle complex thanks to the neighbor but Black Panther rose to the challenge. I only did 4 stars because to me 5 stars means perfect and no one is perfect in my opinion. We all can learn more and do better. Thank you Black Panther Tree Service."
