Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a tree myself?

• <div><p>While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it&rsquo;s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it&rsquo;s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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>

Q: How much should you trim an apple tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree&rsquo;s growth&mdash;and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.</p></div>

Q: Is it healthy to trim palm trees?

• <div><p>Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/palm-tree-care.htm">Caring for palm trees</a> includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don&rsquo;t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it&rsquo;s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.</p></div>
