Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

Q: When should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it&rsquo;s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">hire a local arborist</a> who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.</p></div>

Q: Should I trim dead tree branches?

• <div><p>Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further. </p></div>

Q: How much does commercial tree trimming cost?

• <div><p>The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.</p></div>

Q: Do trees go into shock when transplanted?

• <div><p>Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant.

Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.</p></div>
