Q: Can tree roots break through concrete?

• <div><p>Tree roots don&rsquo;t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It&rsquo;s a good idea to have repairs on any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quarter-inch-crack-my-foundation-major-concern.htm">foundation cracks you&rsquo;re concerned about</a>. </p></div>

Q: What trees produce the most sap?

• <div><p>Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to leave the tree stump?

• <div><p>Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to plant trees?

• <div><p>Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn&rsquo;t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.</p></div>
