Q: Can trees come back after a drought?

• <div><p>Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you&rsquo;ll have to just wait and see&mdash;if the drought occurs in wintertime, it&rsquo;s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.</p></div>

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: Is it good to remove dead branches?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it&rsquo;s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.</p></div>

Q: How do I shape a cherry tree by trimming it?

• <div><p>You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.</p></div>

Q: Is tree topping a good technique?

• <div><p>Generally, no, tree topping isn&rsquo;t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it&rsquo;s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it. </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.
