• <div><p>Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/options-tree-stump-removal.htm">removing the tree's stump</a>. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.</p></div>

Can I cut down a tree myself?

Q: What are the disadvantages of palm trees?

• <div><p>While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.</p></div>

• <div><p>Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.</p></div>
