Q: How can I plant more trees in my community and beyond?

• <div><p>If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:</p><ul><li><p>Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation&rsquo;s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.</p></li><li><p>Support businesses that plant trees. </p></li><li><p>Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.</p></li><li><p>Donate to a tree-planting charity.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What tree is mistaken for a maple tree?

• <div><p>It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence. </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: How much does tree service insurance cost?

• <div><p>Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.</p></div>

Q: Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren&rsquo;t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use geography to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</p></div>

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.
Support businesses that plant trees.
Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.
Donate to a tree-planting charity.
