"Christian Bros. Review In April we hired Christian Bros. Outdoor Services, LLC in Fremont to remove a 3 foot 3â  diameter x 65-foot-tall oak tree from our backyard. We had three companies quote the project with Christian Bros. being very competitive. Jay was our primary contact with Ben and two other men being the team that took down the tree. Safety for the workers and protection of collateral property was paramount and very obvious as Ben scaled the tree and took it down a branch and piece at a time. Everyone was very respectful to my wife and I and patient with us as we went back and forth with catering to family that wanted the wood, but were naà ¯ve to the scope of work to handle such huge logs. The reason we hired a tree rigger instead of the typical crane and bucket crew was because of potential damage to our yard and in-ground sprinkling system. Obviously, with the equipment needed to bring down and handle such a big tree some yard damage was inevitable. Divots and vehicle tracks are repairable with a little fill and grass seed. The best part of the experience was watching Ben take the monster down. He shimmied up the tree with large branches being let down on ropes. He was clearly a master of knots! We are very glad we hired Christian Brothers. Iâ  m a little jealous of Ben though, my wife really liked his English accent."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’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.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
