"They were very professional, friendly and got the job done. They cleaned up the brush with a chipper and raked up the rest and got rid of it. They stacked the wood to dry for my winter supply. Thank you Twisted Tree Company Charlie Rose owner and his crew. I will know who to call when I need tree work done in the future."

"Couldn?t speak higher about the work done! They showed up exactly when they said they would. They removed 5 trees from my property, one of which was massive and very close to my house. There was a small gap in between my fence line they needed to fell the tree and they nailed it like it was nothing. I appreciated that they cleaned up all the fallen tree sights after and they cut up and stacked all the wood on my property since I?m planning on using it for the winter. 5 trees, 2 of which were tricky to drop, and they had it all done in about 3 hours?? VERY impressive! If I ever need more tree work done, this is the only company I?m calling"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

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’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.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
