Q: How can you tell if a tree is overwatered?

• <div><p>Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it&rsquo;s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree&rsquo;s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it&rsquo;s likely that you&rsquo;re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. </p><p>If you realize that you&rsquo;ve been overwatering your mature tree, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-care-and-how-often-water-your-new-tree.htm">stop watering</a> and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. </p></div>

Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>

Q: How long does tree removal take?

• <div><p>For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">stump removal</a>. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.</p></div>

Q: What should you do if a tree is dead?

• <div><p>Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tree-removal-cost.htm">Tree removal costs</a> between<b> $200 and $2,000</b> and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.</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>
