Hi Barbara,here's a link to your problem with your Hickory tree, Galls on Leaves

G'day Patti, unless you want to look beyond the tree it would be advisable to leave the lower leaves and branches. The lower branches hide little critters from big critters. Cheers Greg.

The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is a species of snout Beetle also known as the Asian palm weevil or sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between two and five centimeters long, and are usually a rusty red colour - but many colour variants exist and have often been misidentified as different species (e.g., Rhynchophorus vulneratus; ). Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunk of a palm tree up to a metre long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm

Locust Trees (like many other varieties ) have root systems that easy reach out as far as the foliage and beyond, especially in ares were root growth may be obstructed by buildings or soil may be poor or the tree lacks proper water. A contractor said to me once about such an issue ... "If the tree lives, the roots always win." Many varieties of locust have shallow rooting systems and eventually will lift sidewalks or crack cement.

A solid poured concrete foundation may withstand the pressure of the roots for an extended period of time, especially if it is thick and strong. Block concrete offers less resistance.



Most contractors and landscapers will suggest you plan to take the tree out in the near future

This is an old post, but I didn't see any replys, so I decided to answer. Trees are pruned to help it obtain and maintain a desirable shape and to help it to make more branches and become fuller.

With that in mind, if you have one branch that is out of shape, by all means you can prune it. I would cut it just above a bud node. That takes the "vertical" growth away from that branch and forces the rest of that branch to grow "out" not "up" by making more lateral branches and become fuller.
