Q: Why are tree trunks painted white?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-are-tree-trunks-painted-white.htm">why tree trunks are painted white</a> in your area, it&rsquo;s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it&rsquo;s something that affects your trees.</p></div>

Q: Can you transplant a tree to save it from construction?

• <div><p>It may be possible, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/transplanting-large-trees.htm">transplanting a large, mature tree</a> can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).</p></div>

Q: How can you tell the difference between hard maple and soft maple?

• <div><p>You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.</p><p>If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t cut down a tree?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.</p></div>
