Q: Should you water a tree before transplanting?

• <div><p>Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don&rsquo;t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t prune a peach tree?

• <div><p>If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you&rsquo;ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.</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: What trees should you not trim in the summer?

• <div><p>You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there&rsquo;s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it&rsquo;s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside. </p></div>

Q: Should I trim dead tree branches?

• <div><p>Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further. </p></div>
