Need Replacement For Mature Pecan Tree

Question From: VIRGINIA
Q: A tree service mistakenly took down a large tree in my yard. I want to replace with a mature tree as possible. The tree was a pecan. I hope to replace with type of red maple as large as reasonably possible. Can you help or direct me to someone who can?

A: I recommend you get the advice of professionals, certified arborists. To find contacts in your area go to www.tcia.org and enter your zipcode. I would interview several companies and get references from customers who's trees have survived several years. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy,
