Q: Will a palm tree live if you cut the top off?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.</p></div>

Q: How close can you dig next to a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1&frac12; times as wide as the canopy of the tree&rsquo;s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.</p></div>

Q: Do palm trees require a lot of maintenance?

• <div><p>In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don&rsquo;t need a ton of water&mdash;which is why they&rsquo;re so beloved in desert regions&mdash;and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don&rsquo;t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.</p><p>If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.</p></div>

Q: Can a tree grow back from a stump?

• <div><p>A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-stump-sprouts.htm">send up a number of shoots from the dead stump</a>, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.</p></div>

Q: Will my tree die if I try to move it?

• <div><p>Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You&rsquo;ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn&rsquo;t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.</p></div>
