TIP:

Serious damage can be caused by tree limbs rubbing against a roof. The overhanging branches should be kept trimmed to prevent insect infestation and to avoid the branches rubbing against the roof in high winds. You should inspect the trees twice a year at minimum. You can best prevent oak wilt by trimming the oaks during the coldest or hottest times of the year. Bleach will sterilize pruning tools and wound paint should be used to cover the cuts immediately after trimming. A certified arborist should do major trimming if needed.
