Get matched with top tree service pros in Sherman, NY

Q: What does a maple tree look like in spring?

• <div><p>Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. </p></div>

Q: When is the cheapest time of year to have a tree cut down?

• <div><p>Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cheapest-time-tree-removal.htm">cheapest time of year to remove a tree</a> is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.</p></div>

Q: Do trees grow back if cut down?

• <div><p>Trees don&rsquo;t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won&rsquo;t become a &ldquo;tree&rdquo; like before. Generally, trees don&rsquo;t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it&rsquo;s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it&rsquo;s a good idea to make plans to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">remove the stump</a>, even if it&rsquo;s unlikely to grow back.</p></div>

Q: How far back can you prune a plum tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. </p><p>Never remove more than 30% of a tree&rsquo;s foliage during pruning&mdash;even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.</p></div>

Q: Can I take or eat fruit from a neighbor's tree if the branches hang over my property?

• <div><p>Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.</p></div>
