Q: What is the most popular Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. </p></div>

Q: How do I tell if a tree is dead?

• <div><p>A few signs a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-why-you-should-remove-dead-tree.htm">tree may be dead</a> is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.</p><p>If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.</p></div>

Q: What tools do I need for tree removal?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tools-used-tree-removal.htm">best tools for tree removal</a> include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won&rsquo;t be effective for medium to large trees. </p></div>

Q: Can a broken tree branch grow roots?

• <div><p>Large, established tree branches won&rsquo;t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that&rsquo;s less than about a year old, you&rsquo;ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You&rsquo;ll know the branch is viable if it&rsquo;s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.</p></div>

Q: Does a tree removal company need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers&rsquo; compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an &ldquo;Angi Approved&rdquo; badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.</p></div>

"Provided root treatment for three trees (1 red oak, 1 live oak & 1 silver leaf maple ) to both root feed the trees and kill infections inside the trees - particularly the silver leaf maple.
The Silver Leaf Maple is about 26 years old and I was about ready to cut it down. Bob White convinced me to allow him to treat the tree September 2012 but told me it would talk until the spring (2013) to see the difference. Both of the Oaks are substantially healthier and greener than similar trees on my street. But the Silver Leaf Maple appears to be rebounding very well, and if I can save this very old tree, then I will be very pleased and surprised. And right now - it looks as though it will do well.
Thanks Bob.
