Trees hang around the house so long, it's easy to think of them as members of your extended family. You cherish them deeply, right down to their roots.
But sometimes, they've got to go.
Fortunately, fewer feelings are at stake with an elm than, say, your cousin Frank, but the separation can be just as emotional.
So, the first thing to consider when you're thinking about getting rid of a tree is to not get rid of it at all. A professional arborist is likely to tell you as much.
"In this climate, every tree we have is important," said Israel Showvaker, an arborist with I & E Specialties Tree Care, a family-run company based in Aurora. "If you can save it, it's worth saving."
A lot of trees that look hopeless might just need a professional pruning to get them growing in the right direction. That aspen may have aphids, but that can be treated easily with natural pesticides or even a forceful spray from a hose. Even a tree that's been struck by lightning and left looking like something out of a horror movie deserves a second chance, Showvaker said.
"If it's cracked in half or the trunk is split, sometimes we can cable it so it grows back together," he said.
Of course, not all trees can be spared. Homeowners have to put safety first. Nobody wants a tree that drops a branch big enough to take out a corner of the house or the car windshield (or worse, the next-door neighbor's windshield).
That can mean taking out the precious Colorado blue spruce you planted 3 feet from the house decades ago to celebrate the birth of your first child.

Albany resident Richard Thomas wants the city to stop with its plans of cutting down of a tree on Dawson Road.
The city planned to close lanes on Dawson Road Thursday to begin bringing down the tree but a judge has put a temporary hold on it due to Thomas request. Part of the tree, falls on Thomas' property.
"Two experts feel that this tree is 90 percent intact," Thomas said. "All it needs is a sanitary pruning and I'm all for that."
The city says it's in danger of falling and poses a safety hazard. Thomas says the city is being overly pre cautious "The city is over-reacting to a incident several months ago where a limb feel through a motorists windshield," Thomas said. "They're facing a lawsuit and they went back two days later and cut the tree down and they're going around cutting trees down on the city right away that might in their perception endanger the public."

Tree removal, road closures on Dawson Road halted
The Waterstone/Otaihanga Road cycleway/pedestrian pathway is to be closed temporarily next week when work begins on removing trees which are encroaching on the rail line near the Otaihanga landfill.
Council is removing mainly poplar tree but with a few gums, on the eastern side of the Composting NZ site next to the landfill.
The reason for the removal is that many of the trees lean out across the railway, says Council Leisure and Open Space Asset Manager, Lex Bartlett.
"They are planted on former landfill so are relatively shallow-rooted.
"With stands of pines having been removed to the west as part of the Expressway project, these trees are more exposed to the prevailing north-westerly winds.
"If left as is, the fear is that they could come down over the rail lines or topple on to the overhead wires."
Weather permitting, work will commence on Wednesday 30 April and could take up to two weeks.
During that time the cycleway/pedestrian pathway will be closed when workers are removing the trees. If possible, the pathway will be opened after work hours, as long as the contractors feel it is safe.
Signs will be posted at either end of the pathway to alert cyclists and pedestrians of work in progress.

Kapiti pathway closes for tree removal
MARTINEZ - The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors said today that they will need more details from PG&E before the utility moves forward with a proposal to remove hundreds of trees from county property as part of a larger tree and vegetation removal plan to boost access to its gas pipeline network.
The board was the latest government entity to hear from PG&E about its controversial Pipeline Pathway Project, which in recent months has angered and concerned some East Bay residents and city leaders who say PG&E cannot unilaterally cut down trees.
The public indignation over the proposal has prompted PG&E to slow down the plan and utility officials have agreed not to cut down any trees before reaching agreements with cities and counties.
However, utility officials say removing vegetation and even some small structures such as free-standing garages over the utility's gas pipeline is essential for public safety - one of PG&E's top priorities in the wake of the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion that killed 8 people and damaged some three dozen homes.
PG&E Vice President Kirk Johnson addressed the Board of Supervisors at its meeting in Martinez today about the dangers trees and their roots pose to the pipeline.
Johnson said that for decades, the utility has been "too customer-friendly," allowed property owners to plant trees too close to the pipeline and has been lax on reinforcing previously existing guidelines about planting trees above the pipeline.
Now, he said, PG&E has seen that "tree roots have the ability to interfere with the safety and protection of our pipeline from external corrosion -- corrosion impacts the integrity of the pipeline."
In addition, trees situated just above the pipeline make it difficult for workers to access and maintain the line and check for any safety issues, he said.
Still, PG&E officials have pledged to slow the five-year, $500 million tree removal plan until they have inked agreements with the cities, counties and private property owners involved.
"It will take a while to get there but this is what we would like to see to eliminate the risk," he said.

PG&E presents case for controversial tree removal plan to Contra Costa County supervisors
The city of Cupertino's quest to protect certain mature trees will continue well into 2014.
The Cupertino City Council held a two-hour study session on April 15 regarding plans to update the city's protected tree ordinance. City staff will now work on a draft ordinance amendment, which could then be presented to the planning commission and then to the council later this year.
Since 2012, the city and the five-member council have been working routinely on tinkering with how the city and residents interact with public and protected trees. The city is aiming to amend the protected tree ordinance, which could include streamlining the process for removing protected trees, updating the list of specimen trees, the tree replacement process, and mitigation for tree removals.
There has been a renewed interest in Cupertino's trees over the past two years. In March 2013, the council amended the city's tree ordinance to clarify references to public street trees and to modify penalties from a misdemeanor to infraction for cutting a public tree. The council also directed city staff to review the specimen tree list and to include only native trees and remove non-native trees from the list. In December, the planning commission gave its initial thoughts on a protected tree ordinance update.
On April 15, the council directed staff to explore not requiring mitigation fees or replacement plantings for removing trees up to a certain size. The council also wanted more information about mitigation costs for certain types of trees and about certain trees' water consumption.
Penalties for illegal tree removal require the payment of a retroactive fee of $3,128 per tree, which contributes to the city's tree planting fund. The city's consulting arborists have indicated the penalty is based on the tree's age, aesthetics, size, cost and environmental quality, according to a city staff report.
The specimen tree list currently includes California Buckeye, Bigleaf Maple, Deodar Cedar, Blue Atlas Cedar, and Western Sycamore. The Bay Laurel or California Bay is being considered for removal due to issues regarding structural integrity, decline, safety and likelihood of hosting sudden oak death, according to a city staff report. The Douglas Fir is up for consideration as an addition to the list.
The ordinance defines mature specimen trees as having a minimum single-trunk diameter of 10 inches or minimum multi-trunk diameter of 20 inches measured 4 feet from natural grade. Staff is recommending decreasing the diameter requirement to 12 inches, according to a city staff report.
