Q: How much can you trim a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it&rsquo;s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.</p></div>

Q: What are the five most common trees?

• <div><p>The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you&rsquo;re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.</p></div>

Q: What causes a tree to split?

• <div><p>A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">tree disease</a>. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint.

Q: Should I top my tree?
