Q: Why do suckers on grafted trees have different leaves than the rest of the tree?

• <div><p>On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren&rsquo;t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a tree is overwatered?

• <div><p>Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it&rsquo;s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree&rsquo;s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it&rsquo;s likely that you&rsquo;re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. </p><p>If you realize that you&rsquo;ve been overwatering your mature tree, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-care-and-how-often-water-your-new-tree.htm">stop watering</a> and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. </p></div>

Q: Do tree roots grow after a tree is cut down?

• <div><p>Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.</p></div>

Q: Is it healthy to trim palm trees?

• <div><p>Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/palm-tree-care.htm">Caring for palm trees</a> includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don&rsquo;t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it&rsquo;s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.</p></div>

Q: What tree is mistaken for a maple tree?

• <div><p>It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence. </p></div>
