Q: Can a dying tree spread diseases?

• <div><p>Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it&rsquo;s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property. </p></div>

Q: How close can trees get to power lines before they’re dangerous?

• <div><p>While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/know-dangers-trees-and-power-lines.htm">interfering with overhead power lines</a>. It&rsquo;s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it&rsquo;s essential to ensure your tree isn&rsquo;t in danger of growing too close to them.</p></div>

Q: How deep do palm tree roots go down?

• <div><p>Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between <b>12 and 36 inches deep</b>. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong&mdash;keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>

Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>
