Q: Is tree topping a good technique?

• <div><p>Generally, no, tree topping isn&rsquo;t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it&rsquo;s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it. </p></div>

Q: What is the proper way to prune a tree?

• <div><p>There are four common ways <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm#how-to-prune-trees">to prune a tree correctly:</a> crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. </p></div>

Q: When should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it&rsquo;s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">hire a local arborist</a> who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.</p></div>

Q: Do you need two peach trees to produce fruit?

• <div><p>Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to trim a tree or cut it down?

• <div><p>The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.</p></div>

"They arrived on schedule and began work immediately. They were able to quickly trim the elm tree to our satisfaction. The willow tree took a little more time due to the proximity of the homes and multiple dead limbs at the top of the tree. I was pleased with their work, and will definitely use them again. They are very professional, and know their business well.
