Q: What’s the best way to control a tree’s height?

• <div><p>The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that&rsquo;s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a dead tree to fall?

• <div><p>It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it&rsquo;s hard to predict the fall&rsquo;s timing, it&rsquo;s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.</p></div>

Q: Should I coat the cut branches on a topped tree?

• <div><p>You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn&rsquo;t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree&rsquo;s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">oak wilt</a>. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.</p></div>

Q: What trees produce the most sap?

• <div><p>Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.</p></div>
