Question 1

What is pruning (élagage)?

Accepted Answer

Pruning involves removing dead and interfering branches to improve the tree's health, the environment's aesthetics, and people's safety. Regular maintenance is crucial in urban areas to ensure trees are healthy and do not pose a risk to citizens, facilities, or surrounding buildings.

Question 2

When is tree removal (abattage) necessary?

Accepted Answer

Tree removal is sometimes necessary when a tree becomes dangerous to surrounding infrastructure or is diseased. It's also done to beautify green spaces or remove dangerous/diseased trees.

Question 3

What is stump removal (essouchement)?

Accepted Answer

Stump removal involves reducing the stump by lowering it below ground level.

Question 4

What is directional cutting (coupe directionnelle)?

Accepted Answer

Directional cutting clears surrounding trees, buildings, cables, signs, lampposts, and other elements by redirecting the tree's growth in another direction.

Question 5

What should I know about the Emerald Ash Borer (agrile du frêne)?

Accepted Answer

The Emerald Ash Borer is a pest that causes severe damage to ash trees. It has no predators, and cities do not vaccinate them but recommend citizens do. The 'tree azin' vaccine, administered in time, slows its decline and must be given every 2 years for 6-10 years on a healthy tree with no dead branches or tops. The cost is approximately $4 per centimeter based on the ash tree's diameter and offers no guarantee. Pruning may be required beforehand.
