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: What kills trees quickly?

• <div><p>While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. </p></div>

Q: What temperature is too cold to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning can impact cold hardiness&mdash;but it&rsquo;s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don&rsquo;t want to prune trees when there&rsquo;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&rsquo;s pruned.</p></div>

Q: What signs does a tree show if it’s been struck by lightning?

• <div><p>After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It&rsquo;s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.</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>
