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.

One reason people buy trees is to landscape their yards and property with species of trees they desire, or to plant trees that will grow together to make a windbreak. People buy fruit trees to have their own fruit or to have an orchard to sell fruit. Those who wish to grow and sell Christmas trees buy them when they are very small and harvest them when they are good heights for Christmas trees.
Tree conservation is a tough practice. Disease and insects become problems in all trees naturally. Extermination becomes impossible because diseases spread by many different means and setting up quarentines becomes very tough. Without trapping a disease in a bubble quarantines dont work. Plus our natural damage with polution makes for harmful environments that dont occur naturally.

How far from the property line should trees be planted?
How far from the property line trees should be planted will vary from place to place. To determine the rules in your area call your local zoning board. You should also check with your HOA. They often have rules about tree placement as well.
How much water does a broadleaf tree take in a day?
An average broadleaf tree can absorb and transpire hundreds of gallons of water in a day, depending on its species, size, and environmental conditions. The water uptake through the roots helps in maintaining the tree's physiological functions and supports its growth and general health.
Anti Tree:
Cut down the trees, it'll be a breeze.
Tree in my way? NOT TODAY!
Bricks and Mortar beat Sticks and Water.

What are trees that shed their leaves every fall?
Deciduous trees are those that shed their leaves every fall. Common examples include maple, oak, birch, and elm trees. This process is known as leaf abscission and is triggered by changes in daylight and temperature.

How to trim a bushes or weeds? Well first, you are going to use a trimmer (which is like a huge pair of scissors.) Then you will slowly cut where you want the cut to end. Just keep doing that repeatedlly until you finally finish the work!
How do you trim roots on a Deciduous Bonsai tree?
Late winter/early spring, before the buds start to put out new growth is the best time. You will need knowledge of repotting and soil mixes. The idea is to remove some of the old woody roots and shorten the newer feeder roots so that they will branch out. You have to totally remove the soil first, then when you repot it lay them flat across the new soil and apply more soil on top. Note: good bonsai soil is not potting mix or dirt, but rather a mix of grits, such as perlite, crushed lava, pumice, turface, akadama, gravel or very coarse sand, perhaps with some chopped conifer bark, all particles about 1/4" in size.

What is the term for the soft part that finally becomes the core of a tree?
Sapwood is the term for the soft part that finally becomes the core of a tree.
Specifically, sapwood can be found between the cambium cell layer and the heartwood. It functions to transport water into the tree's foliage. It is made up of layers of newer and older wood. The older wood will harden into heartwood as newer layers are added. It therefore will turn into the core of a tree over time and with age.
Probably the best way to remove a tree is to cut it down and remove the stump. Herbicides will kill the tree, but you will still need to remove it. Depending on the herbicide, you may affect other plantings nearby or kill other trees at the same time.
There are several types of herbicide to eliminate a tree, you just need to be careful as some will be soil active, meaning it will stay there and kill other vegetation too. Be warned, some trees may be attached to the root systems of other trees(locust is an example), and if you treat one, others around it can die too If you can get the tree down, flush off the stump and use a herbicide around the outer cambium layer. This is the living tissue just inside the bark, and you don't need to treat the whole top. Look at the labels in the store and look for the active ingredients tryclopyr or picloram. Usually you can buy it off the shelf, since it is non restricted. These are in many of the brand names you can get at a home store. If you can't get the tree down, you can treat the outside, spraying from knee height down to and including the root flare. .
I don't think I've ever run across a tree in the field that hasn't formed a root graft if a related tree species (ie red oak to red oak or white oak sometimes) is within root grafting distance. To completely kill the stump with Roundup you are going to have to remove the bark from the outer cambium because as long as that tissue is protect it will get the chance to grow back. Removing the bark with dry out the cambium. The herbicide Roundup is typically your best bet because it's pretty nasty stuff. The problem with just spraying the top and surrounding area is some trees are very persistent and will easily shoot up suckers (a new baby tree but grown from the root stock which develops weaker wood) in an attempt to survive. Maples, Aspens, and Willows are notorious for doing this. Roundup is typically the most common herbicide used by tree companies because the main active ingredient of roundup is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. Drill holes in the top of the trunk and pour some roundup in the holes, this will aid in killing the roots to prevent suckers. Roundup however is toxic to wildlife just as a heads up BUT it does not sterilize the ground like other herbicides would which would prevent you from being able to plant anything else sometimes up to several years. When you are using an herbicide properly, as in you're not overdosing, root grafts shouldn't really be much of a concern because it would take a lot of herbicide to cause any major damage. As I said herbicide damage to a neighboring tree is unlikely if the correct dosing is done but if you start to see signs of dieback (dead branches that weren't dead before), Chlorosis (yellowing of the leaves, or Scorch (literally looks like the leaves have been set on fire) then you have poisoned the nearby tree.
My uncle would cut a tree down to grown level, add charcoal and let it burn the stump and its roots away. However, you can end up with a sunken area in the yard and possible fire damage if it spreads.
Probably the best solution is to remove the stump by hiring a tree company to grind out the stump, or rent a stump grinder. This can get pricey though.
