Q: How far back can you prune a plum tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. </p><p>Never remove more than 30% of a tree&rsquo;s foliage during pruning&mdash;even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.</p></div>

Q: How do you stop tree roots from growing without killing the tree?

• <div><p>You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.</p></div>

Q: Should I cut down a dead palm tree?

• <div><p>Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:</p><ul><li><p>The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.</p></li><li><p>The palm&rsquo;s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.</p></li><li><p>The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor&rsquo;s property, and pedestrians.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a palm tree is dying?

• <div><p>When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that&rsquo;s a sign the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">tree is dying</a>. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It&rsquo;s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you&rsquo;re sure it&rsquo;s not coming back to life.</p></div>

Q: Can all types of tree roots be treated in the same way?

• <div><p>All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it&rsquo;s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate. </p></div>

The house we bought has an in-ground pool. My wife wanted landscaping done around the pool and have it look good. It was a lot of work. I was very weary at first, because there were some pretty big trees that were taken down. He told me that they would be there on Wednesday morning first...

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves.

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.
The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.
The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.
