Q: What do you cut palm tree branches with?

• <div><p>A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk. </p></div>

Q: Do tree roots grow after a tree is cut down?

• <div><p>Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.</p></div>

Q: Can I trim a tree myself?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to <b>$1,100</b> or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. </p><p>Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it&rsquo;s safest to let a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-get-best-tree-service.htm">tree-trimming professional</a> assess the work needed. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to kill tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time&mdash;typically between three and four weeks&mdash;while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you&rsquo;re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea. </p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>
