I am looking for trees with a noninvasive root system to put near pavers?
Trees all have root systems that are invasive to a degree: some are worse than others. notoriously bad are cherry and willow - both have roots taht are quite close to surface and that increase in girth causing heave. Choose small varieties that have smaller systems, avoid cherry, willow, poplar, alder and other high-water take-up trees, choose drought-tolerant varieties. Another option is to lay your paving to accommodate tree roots - use a root barrier, or use a base layer of Amsterdam soil or other granualar material that will be less affected by roots. If the paving is impervious, roots will not favour growing below them anyway, unless is it a narrow area that roots can grow underneath to reach a favourable rooting area the other side.

When is the best time to prune a broom shrub?
After the bloom is the best time to prune a broom shrub.
Specifically, the shrub blooms from April to June. Flowering is followed by ample seed production. A regular pruning schedule may be instituted any time between August and October. The earlier time will control seed production while encouraging leafy regrowth. The later time will control both.
But pruning for damaged, dangerous, dead, diseased, dying parts -- the pruning rule of the d's -- can be done at any time throughout the year. As is the case of regular pruning, it never should be done after a rain event or to wet wood, both of which tend to encourage tree diseases.

Why is winter the best time to cut lumber?
The main reason lumber is primarily cut in the winter is that the ground is frozen, which allows access for heavy logging equipment with limited damage to the soil. Also, winter cut logs have tight bark, which is an advantage to protect against bug infestation for logs that sit a long time before processing, but with cold weather and since sap is not running, bugs are usually a minimal threat. Tight bark remaining on the edges of boards can be a design attribute for plank style lumber, however, usually the logs are debarked as a matter of course.
Does each of the tree roots provide nutrition to the entire tree or just a section of the tree?
It is the small fiberous roots that get the nutrients and water from the soil, the larger roots are mainly for transporting the nutrients and water up to the tree. Each of the roots is responsible for a certain part of the tree. So if you were to cut off some roots, only the parts of the tree that they served would be affected.

Is cedar wood better than treated pine wood?
Yes, cedar is better to use for durability and longer lasting. Pine is soft, whether treated or not, and usually much cheaper to purchase. In the long run cedar is the better choice.
But although cedar is better, it also depends on what you need it for... If your doing craft and its not going to be weathered or battered around pine is better. Treated pine is good for craft work as it is easier to shape, bend and can hold a lot of weight.
Cedar is used if you want to make something that last longer, like a table or chair. You don't want pine chairs to snap when you sit on them...

I planted a pink dogwood in the spring and have fertlized and water all summer. It is very dry in Tennessee in August so I have watered nearly every day but not flooded the tree. In the spring I used a tree spike (following directions carefully) to fertilize and since then I have used about 1 tsp of garden sulfur over a two month period. Though the tree has shown new growth, the leaves turn brown and curl on the end. Help! I love flowering tress and certainly want this one to be as healthy as the others in my gardens.
Thanks for any information.
