Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota.

Can you grow a grafted tree from a branch?

• <div><p>A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project. </p><p>You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.</p></div>

Is it bad to leave a dead tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.</p></div>

How much does leaf removal cost?

Q: Will a tree straighten by itself?

• <div><p>Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount.

This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.</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.
