Q: Why is it important to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.</p></div>

Q: How can I ask my neighbor to cut their tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you&rsquo;d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners&rsquo; association or local authorities, if applicable.</p></div>

Q: Should you water a tree before transplanting?

• <div><p>Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don&rsquo;t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to trim palm trees?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You&rsquo;ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:</p><ul><li><p>Brown fronds </p></li><li><p>Dry leaves</p></li><li><p>Flower pods</p></li><li><p>Fruit</p></li><li><p>Fronds overgrown in power lines</p></li><li><p>Frond encroaching upon your neighbor&rsquo;s home or yard </p></li><li><p>Visible damage from a storm</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How damaged can a tree be before it’s considered a loss?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than <b>25%</b> loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.</p></div>
