Q: Can a broken tree branch grow roots?

Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You&rsquo;ll know the branch is viable if it&rsquo;s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.</p></div>

Q: When do dead trees fall over?

• <div><p>If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of year to prune a tree?

• <div><p>Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.</p></div>

Q: How much does commercial tree removal cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.</p></div>
