Get matched with top tree service pros in Wilbur, WA

Q: Can I cut off the top of a cherry tree?

• <div><p>You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it&rsquo;s not recommended for cherry trees&mdash;or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between tree guying and tree staking?

• <div><p>There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.</p></div>

Q: When should you remove a tree?

• <div><p>There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger&mdash;potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property&mdash;or it&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth. </p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for trimming roots from a tree growing on the property line?

• <div><p>In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.</p></div>

Q: How long do tree roots live after a tree is cut down?

• <div><p>Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don&rsquo;t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree. </p></div>
