How often do I need to prune my trees?

• <div><p>Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.</p></div>

Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</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: Is it OK to prune trees in the summer?

• <div><p>Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it&rsquo;s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year&rsquo;s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.</p></div>

Q: When do you need to remove branches from a diseased tree?

• <div><p>Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn&rsquo;t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you&rsquo;ll likely need to remove the tree.</p></div>
