Q: Should I use a pruning seal for trees after trimming?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.</p></div>

Q: Can Dutch elm disease hurt humans?

• <div><p>Dutch elm disease can&rsquo;t harm humans. In fact, <a href="https://www.readyforwildfire.org/forest-health/bark-beetle-information/">according to</a> Cal Fire, bark beetles aren&rsquo;t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.</p></div>

Q: How far away from my house should I plant a tree?

• <div><p>You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.</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: Does boiling water kill tree roots?

• <div><p>While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.</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"
