Q: Why is it not okay to cut down trees?

• <div><p>Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it&rsquo;s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-trimming-crown-reduction-versus-tree-topping.htm">crown reduction</a> before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it&rsquo;s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to chemically rot tree stumps?

• <div><p>Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)</p></div>

Q: What trees should not be pruned in winter?

• <div><p>Trees that flower in the spring&mdash;like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear&mdash;should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you&rsquo;ll actually remove what would&rsquo;ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

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>
