Does Dutch elm disease affect other trees?

• <div><p>It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-and-wood-identification-your-backyard.htm">identify wood</a> and determine which types of trees are in your yard. </p><p>Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!</p></div>

How much should you trim an apple tree?

• <div><p>Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. </p><p>If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.</p></div>

Can you burn wood with Dutch elm disease?

• <div><p>Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.</p></div>

Can you grow a grafted tree from a branch?

• <div><p>A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project. </p><p>You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.</p></div>

"I hired this Professional tree removal service, "Frontier Forestry" and I am extremely happy with the work. Everything was done efficiently and very safely. Safety was Paramount! I had 2 mature cottonwood trees cut down and I couldn't be happier with the excellent customer service. Hunter, the owner, was happy to come to Laramie, from Cheyenne. I was quickly and professionally given an estimate, and very soon thereafter, the trees were down, safely! I would highly recommend, Hunter, and his business, "Frontier Forestry" to anyone who needs or wants this service! Again, I am EXTREMELY HAPPY! The price was very REASONABLE! 😊 Paul Irish ☘️ Laramie, Wyoming"
