Q: What time of year is best to transplant a tree?

• <div><p>The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.</p></div>

Q: Should maple trees be topped?

• <div><p>No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on a new tree?

• <div><p>Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they&rsquo;re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. </p><p>These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online&mdash;so there&rsquo;s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you&rsquo;re ready to plant it.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell which way a tree will fall?

• <div><p>The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a tree trunk to rot?

• <div><p>The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree&rsquo;s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree&rsquo;s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it&rsquo;s decayed naturally. </p></div>

Was very happy with the job The only complaint is I wished they wouldn’t have dropped the main tree trunk on top of other limbs, but this is most likely my fault because I asked them to just drop the tree and leave clean up to me
