Q: Can you plant a tree where a stump was removed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed</a>, know that the soil conditions won&rsquo;t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It&rsquo;s best to choose a different spot that&rsquo;s at least<b> three feet away</b> for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant. </p></div>

Q: What is the best tool to cut down a tree?

• <div><p>A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you&rsquo;re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to grind a stump?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump&rsquo;s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.</p></div>

Q: How much should you trim an apple tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree&rsquo;s growth&mdash;and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.</p></div>

Q: How deep should you notch a tree?

• <div><p>The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree&rsquo;s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly&mdash;at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.</p></div>

"We were very concerned about our centuries old oak trees that had been in our family since 1852. When I called Kevin at Arborcare and Consulting he was working in the area and able to come out the next day. He and his associate were very knowledgeable and showed us the evidence of Oak Wilt and another fungus that had put our trees in decline. They promptly treated them with Alamo injections and another fungicide. We are so happy and relieved to have the trees properly diagnosed and treated. It is clearly evident how much they love trees and their job. Thanks Kevin! Jack and Becky"
