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 you water a new tree too much?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it&rsquo;s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">fungal diseases</a>, and a lack of root development.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to trim low branches on a tree?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you&rsquo;ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming <b>20%</b> of a tree&rsquo;s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut the top off a plum tree?

• <div><p>Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you&rsquo;ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree&rsquo;s vase shape, and limit size. </p><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove a tree that’s close to my house?

• <div><p>A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.</p></div>

Hello! I am passionate about working with my hands and getting them dirty. I have been taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and putting them back together again since I was able to hold a wrench. I am an Ex- ASE certified automotive technician, so I thrive with diagnosis and repair! Great with tools and figuring things out!

"I was very happy with their service. When I originally called they got back to me within a day and set up a time for the estimate. We scheduled a time the same week. I was on a deadline by my HOA to remove the tree and they made sure to get it all done in time. It was about 2 weeks after the estimate. They removed the tree and came back and ground up the stump. It looks great now.
