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: What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

• <div><p>Although the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pruning-vs-trimming.htm">tree trimming and tree pruning</a> are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. </p><p>Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It&rsquo;s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.</p></div>

Q: Will a tree live again after it dies?

• <div><p>If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn&rsquo;t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.</p></div>

Q: How much pruning do ornamental trees need?

• <div><p>You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.</p></div>

Q: How long does tree removal take?

• <div><p>For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">stump removal</a>. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.</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"
