Tree Care
In the modern world of soil compaction and environmental pollution, tree health and life expectancies tend to increase with responsible cultivation practices. For example, they are more likely to maintain proper form and growth if the particular planting, pruning, spraying and watering needs are met. Contributors typically want to know about a tree's planting depth and width, potential pests and stresses, pruning and watering schedules, and treatment options.

How far in each direction do tree roots grow?
Tree roots typically grow very wide and shallow. How wide do tree roots grow? Most people say tree roots grow to the dripline. In fact, tree roots grow much farther than the dripline, typically 2 to 3 times the distance, sometimes further. All of the roots are important to the tree. Do not cut the roots. If in doubt, hire a Certified Arborist to consult on your project BEFORE getting started. Trees do not heal; they can only compartmentalize decay. So, do not expect to have someone wave a magic wand and sprinkle some chemicals to fix your problem or "save" your tree. Learn more at http:/www.treedeath.com

Disadvantages of selective cutting?
1) Loss of habitats for native species
2) Land is harmed because topsoil cannot be held down, leading to erosion

When there are no birds just hanging out, that is because they are no longer nesting.
