"Professional hard working company. They truly enjoy their work and they go above and beyond. We needed several trees trimmed to get ready for a new shed and they did the job beyond our expectations. They did more than we asked of them, cleaned everything up when they were done and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. I encourage anyone looking for tree services to call them! They don’t over charge and they do an excellent job!! Thank you Cherry Tree Service"

"John and his crew are professionals. They started our job of removing 5 trees 3 days earlier than expected this past week. It took the 5 man crew 4hrs last Wednesday and 4hrs on Thursday to remove the 5 trees. They ground up all the stumps and cleaned up all of the twigs that had broken off. They were very careful when running their machinery on the lawn to not damage it. They put down a number of panels to protect the lawn. I will definitely be calling this company again when I need to trim any of the remaining trees. Their pricing is reasonable and competive in this market. My wife and I highly recommend them."

"They were very professional. Got there within the hour of when they said. There was an arborist and two guys. They knew what they were doing. They left the yard cleaner than when they started, they raked and blew the yard. They did a terrific job! The tree looks great. I would hire them again right away."

Customers say: True professional

"The crew came on time and worked steadily throughout the day to remove a very large tree from a fairly small lot. Everyone was polite and respectful. Taking down a tree this size was not a simple job, but these guys really know what they're doing! They cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were finished. Now I don't have to rake leaves this year. Thanks, guys!"

Arborists 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.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.
