Q: Can a tree with borers be saved?

• <div><p>Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell which way a tree will fall?

• <div><p>The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. </p></div>

Q: What trees should you not trim in the summer?

• <div><p>You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there&rsquo;s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it&rsquo;s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside. </p></div>

Q: What tools do I need for tree removal?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tools-used-tree-removal.htm">best tools for tree removal</a> include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won&rsquo;t be effective for medium to large trees. </p></div>

Q: Should I cut down a dead tree?

• <div><p>Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it&rsquo;s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn&rsquo;t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes. </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.
