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: How often do I need to prune my trees?

• <div><p>Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you&rsquo;re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.</p></div>

Q: Will these steps work If I’m planting a potted palm tree?

• <div><p>Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you&rsquo;ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.</p></div>

Q: What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you&rsquo;re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s limbs. If you&rsquo;re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you&rsquo;re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Q: Will a tree straighten by itself?

• <div><p>Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.</p></div>
