Q: Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren&rsquo;t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use geography to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t prune a peach tree?

• <div><p>If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you&rsquo;ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.</p></div>

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: Do I cut down my Dutch elm diseased tree?

• <div><p>You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you&rsquo;ve correctly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/elm-tree-identification.htm">identified it as an elm tree</a>.<b> </b>Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.</p></div>

Q: Should I trim dead tree branches?

• <div><p>Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further. </p></div>

Trinity Works did the best job on a project that was long overdue. They power washed my entire house, both decks, and the gutters in one day. They even removed a green film that was left on the siding from the previous company a few years ago.

"CSI was flexible and was able to schedule a home inspector the day after I got a bid accepted on a house. The inspector, Patrick, showed up on time and the inspection took about 4 hours. Patrick was responsive to any questions I had by email or live during the inspection. My one recommendation is that I requested a pest, mold, radon, and home inspection. It would be a better heads up if they explained that they sometimes outsource the radon inspection depending on availability of radon inspectors. Also, they can explain a bit more for new home buyers what is involved with a mold inspection. Patrick ended up just eyeing whether he spotted any mold. Because he did not see any mold, we did not have to pay extra for mold samples."
