Q: Is it good to remove dead branches?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it&rsquo;s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.</p></div>

Q: What signs does a tree show if it’s been struck by lightning?

• <div><p>After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It&rsquo;s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.</p></div>

Q: How do you transplant palm trees?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-move-palm-tree.htm">Transplanting a palm tree</a> is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn&rsquo;t need to be as large as a &ldquo;true&rdquo; tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it&rsquo;s important to give them extra support when staking. </p></div>

Q: What tree has the deepest roots?

• <div><p>The shepherd&rsquo;s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over <b>230 feet deep</b>. Some African communities refer to it as the &ldquo;Tree of Life&rdquo; since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.</p></div>

Q: How do you stop a maple tree from growing taller?

• <div><p>You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It&rsquo;s important to start pruning a tree while it&rsquo;s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.</p></div>

"Brooks is a polite professional who knows what he is doing. Had a large maple that needed some major attention - he was able to maintain the integrity of the tree and get it off the deck. Also have a very large crepe myrtle (over 3 stories). I thought I was going to have to have it cut down as it was beginning to damage my gutters. Again he took great efforts to save it. Both look great now. I would highly recommend this young man and will use him again in the future."

"Amazing service. Jason was here the next morning and worked on the shower drain that was filled with grout from a tile contractor. Hired a local plumber to clear the drain and all they did was pierce the p trap in 2 places. Jason took over jetted the grout out, then sent the camera and noticed the 2 holes. Didn't leave me hanging over the holidays with family arriving in 2 days. Came back the next morning and dug his way under the home to replace the p trap. Saved me from cutting up all my new interior shower flooring. Highly recommended. Thank you Chloe and Jason."
