Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself
Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself
Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself
Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines
Pay to have multiple trees removed at once
Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
