Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to grind a stump?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump&rsquo;s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.</p></div>
