My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

One more tree identification and maintenance ?

12 years ago

Hi all,
One more -see attached photos. Anyone know what it is. I thought a dogwood, but maybe not?

Question on maintenance - there are a bunch of suckers/shoots along the base of the tree. Should I do anything with them? I'm not sure if I should let it all be, or cut them off. If cut, when? (i'm located in MA, Cape Cod).

Thanks!!
