Hi Megan,
Thanx for your help.  I'm not really a tree expert.  We have a tree expert here on All Experts.  His name is Jim Hyland and he has many years experience with the U.S. Forestry Service.  You can access Jim by going to Home/Garden click on Trees and then Clic on Trees again.  He is more qualified on this particular subject than I am.  I hope this helps.
