Q: When should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it&rsquo;s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">hire a local arborist</a> who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.</p></div>

Q: Will bleach kill a tree?

• <div><p>Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do tree roots regrow if cut?

• <div><p>Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they&rsquo;re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree&rsquo;s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-roots-growing-back.htm">how to get rid of regrowing tree roots</a> is a separate feat). Still, if you don&rsquo;t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional. </p></div>

Q: How do you transport a fully-grown tree?

• <div><p>Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a tree to heal from being broken?

• <div><p>Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.</p></div>

"I cannot believe our good fortune in finding Josh from NEK Tree Workz when the huge elm hanging over our house was cracked down the middle in the last storm. From initial call to resolution was just over 24 hours, and that giant tree was safely down with not one bit of damage to either house or barn, both of which are super close to the damaged tree. Josh is incredibly skilled and both guys are professional, polite and great at what they do. Highly recommend calling these guys for tree work!"

Being an ISA Certified Arborist, I'm always striving to keep up with industry standards and grow myself.
