Q: What is the best month to trim palm trees?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You&rsquo;ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:</p><ul><li><p>Brown fronds </p></li><li><p>Dry leaves</p></li><li><p>Flower pods</p></li><li><p>Fruit</p></li><li><p>Fronds overgrown in power lines</p></li><li><p>Frond encroaching upon your neighbor&rsquo;s home or yard </p></li><li><p>Visible damage from a storm</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take a tree to recover after pruning?

• <div><p>The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover. </p></div>

Q: Can a tree with borers be saved?

• <div><p>Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if my ornamental tree is damaged?

• <div><p>For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there&rsquo;s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut the top off a plum tree?

• <div><p>Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you&rsquo;ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree&rsquo;s vase shape, and limit size. </p><p>A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it&rsquo;s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.</p></div>

"Super pleasant to work with. They cut down roughly 30 trees for me and stump grinded them out, hauled everything away. They did a fabulous job making sure to clean up after and leveled it all. It was like they were never there. Price was unbeatable in my opinion for the quality of communication and work prior to start and after finish. Recommend them to anyone and will use them for any future needs. Thanks again!"
