Q: Can cutting a tree's roots cause it to fall?

• <div><p>Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable and cost-effective tree transplanting professional?

• <div><p>Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers&rsquo; compensation insurance. </p><p>Also, look for companies certified by the <a href="https://www.isa-arbor.com/">International Society of Arboriculture</a> or registered with the <a href="https://www.tcia.org/">Tree Care Industry Association</a> and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.</p></div>

Q: Can I rent a tree from the Christmas decorators?

• <div><p>Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn&rsquo;t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take Epsom salt to kill a tree stump?

• <div><p>Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.</p></div>
