Q: Should I use a pruning seal for trees after trimming?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.</p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for tree branches over property lines?

• <div><p>If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor&rsquo;s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. </p><p>If you don&rsquo;t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they&rsquo;re becoming a hazard, it&rsquo;s definitely worth having a conversation.</p></div>

Q: Can I save a dying maple tree?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.</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: When should I schedule an arborist to prune my tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/worst-time-prune-trees.htm">worst times to prune trees</a> are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.</p></div>
