Am I responsible if a dead tree falls on power lines?

• <div><p>Homeowners are usually not responsible for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/if-tree-falls-power-line-who-responsible.htm">trees that fall on power lines</a>. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.</p></div>

Do palm trees require a lot of maintenance?

• <div><p>In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—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’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: Is tree topping a good technique?

• <div><p>Generally, no, tree topping isn&rsquo;t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it&rsquo;s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to prune your trees?

• <div><p>The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you&rsquo;re short on time. </p></div>

Q: Should I trim the lower branches of my maple tree?

• <div><p>Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.</p></div>
