Comments (10)It is not a coincidence that your maple is turning color early on the side of the removed arborvitae. With non-conifer trees, usually the branches on one side of the tree are mainly fed by roots on the same side. The maple will be fine. The only other thing done by damaging the roots (besides general stress) is the greater possibility of verticillum wilt infection because of the greater number of wounds as infection points. The wilt enters the tree through the roots. You can't do anything about that anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it. Our ash trees will eventually be wiped out, far worse that the elms with Dutch elm disease. Their tree WILL die, it's only a matter of time. Insecticides can work, but must be applied at least yearly. (I think there is one chemical that can be applied every two years, but it is even more expensive). Unless this is professionally injected into the tree, this is not very environmentally friendly either. I was completely taken aback at a review given on TV by one of the news stations; they were interviewing various tree companies for their advice on ash trees infected by or in danger of FAB. Only one gave removal of the trees as a possible (and preferred) alternative. All the other businesses interviewed only wanted to pump the trees with chemicals (and for coming years without end). The news station was very biased, and went out of the way to how "bad" the advice of removal was. (Who knew that news stations were experts of tree insects?) Complete idiots. My whole point with that story is for you to be careful how you approach the removal option. It is what I would do. The tree will only get larger in time, and more costly to remove. I wonder . . . if the tree becomes infected, does the city remove it free of charge? Or is the home owner billed?...See MoreNeed to ID two trees

Comments (9)cut flush to the ground.. so the lawnmower can get over it.. and flush enough you dont trip over it ..... and apply a stump killer ... its much less work to drive to the store... than to dig up a tree ... trust me on that .... btw.. if anything.. the grass would be stealing nutrients from the tree.. not vice versa as you allude ... and thin grass is usually a function of not enough sun .. and lack of water ... keep in mind.. a trees roots should be down 3 to 6 inches. and most lawn roots are in the top 2 or 3 ... so they really arent big competitors ... and if you fert your lawn.. its simply not an issue at all ... ken...See More- 8 years ago
