Hi, I’m from Nova Scotia and made a post about a year ago about my green ash tree that sadly got emerald ash borers, and they killed the main part of the tree (past post in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tree/s/nCBCTJa077).
I was told by you guys that these trees form a bush when they die. I would like to know what my best course of action is. I will give it what it needs to prevent more emerald ash borers. I’ve been watering it like crazy, and in the past month and a half it’s flourished up to 7–8 ft tall.
I want to know if I should kind of train it or give it anything. Any advice would be absolutely amazing.

Planted this many years ago, slow grower. When the sun angles are right it shines through the pealing bark and is really beautiful.

One of our oak trees is suffering this year. It is original to the house. We've been here for 20 years. I first noticed a lot of bare branches. Then I noticed what looked like Trails up the sides of the trunk. Now those trails are becoming fissures and the ball is coming off. Please help! I am located in Houston, Texas, and it is watered daily by sprinklers.

Location is central Maryland, just north of Washington DC. I think this is some sort of ornamental cherry? It had tons of white/pink flowers when it was healthy. It was planted by the home builder about 25 years ago. A couple years ago it started dying and I have no idea what caused it. It's technically not mine, it's just across the property line by only about 18 inches. What's causing it to die? Should it be removed or is there something that can be done to help it recover? I can provide more pics if needed.

It's about 4-5 years old. In Minnesota. Zone 5 a

Hi all this pawpaw here is doing pretty well surviving a transplant Midwest USA well. There are now 2 oak species that have emerged from the dirt. When will they be able to be moved? THANKS in advance.

Greeting all and Happy 4th for my fellow Americans. I request advice and expectations before I call an arborist/local tree company out tomorrow (Sunday).

A massive storm came through and ripped ~30% of the canopy down. The tree has otherwise been healthy aside from the water/rot weakened areas seen in the later panels. The trunk is roughly 18” wide at this section. We love this tree so I want to keep it should it be able to survive such an injury.

Do you think the entire tree is toast?

Thanks for your time!

We bought a house with a big oak tree but it seems like it’s dying. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi,
Could you please check out this pic and let me know if this live oak tree is too close to the house? 15 feet from the wall. It's an 8 year old tree. Location: Houston, TX

Appreciate any feedback you can share.

Old oak tree in WI developing these Dr. Seuss puffs on just a few leaves. What are these? Are they harmful, should they be removed? Thank you!

This is our (fruiting variety) cherry tree that is reportedly at least 13 years old (husband bought the house 7ish years ago). This morning, I accidentally stuck my fingers in the pictured large glob of gelatinous sap on one of the 3 main branches of the tree. That led me to look closer at the tree & discover more gooey spots, & numerous dried spots that may be normal sap, I'm not sure. There are sappy spots on 2 of the main branches themselves, & at least a few smaller branches. Leaves are still green. Lower trunk unaffected.

I'm in central Iowa, lately it has been very hot, very rainy, & always humid. It's in heavy clay soil. We don't water, we haven't fertilized or chemically treated in any way, & the late frost killed off the fruit this year.

In picture 1, the small scrapes - 1 showing dark wood on the left, 1 showing light on the right - are fresh & done by me, as the internet led me to believe looking for that darkening may help determine what's causing the "gummosis." Literally all my knowledge on this comes from a bunch of googling tonight.

I am more than happy to answer any questions, take/share more pictures, whatever helps. I've also already googled a plan of action if it IS fungal canker, & I'm happy to share that for approval/tweaking if y'all think that's the culprit.

What is this dent on the bark of my pine tree?

What to Post

Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about certain species of wild birds, how these wild birds you feed and water behave with you when they see you coming outside to take care of them, whether or not they love it when you whistle one of your own special tunes to them and how they react to it. I also want to hear about your trees and the wildlife that thrives in your trees! Or if you have a vine that has tried to suffocate any of your trees, such as the vine here in my photos that I posted for you as an example.

I’ve got two red oaks in Chicago, Il, both naturally seeded. They seem kind of close to each other for the long haul. Do I need to take one down?

Hey everyone,

My family moved here, we live in Australia QLD, three years ago and this, I believe is a Bougainvillea tree, bloomed heavily two years ago (full canopy of red flowers, couldn't even see the wood/branches), and since has been pretty unproductive. We decided to prune it's North/east branches to let more light in but other then that she's just been wild and untouched. Unfortunately I have no other info on its age or anything else. Any thoughts on why she looks a bit uninterested? Thanks all

I live in southern NJ. So I have been battling these runners for years and this year it appears to be completely out of control. Unfortunately the tree that is in the last picture is my neighbors but needless to say. I’m getting tired of having to pull them out. Has anyone had this problem? If so please tell me what you did.

I was also thinking of renting a small ditch witch and run it along the property line.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Hello, my peach tree is not doing well and I don’t know what’s wrong. I live in the panhandle of Florida. All the leaves have multiple holes and are turning yellow and falling off. It barely has any leaves now. I water it once every 3-4 days it’s been raining a good amount recently though so I haven’t been watering it as much. I use the spray shown in the pictures also about every 3-4 days but not on the days I water. Please help thank you.

Hi, for context this pine tree is 20 years old and was planted in the same container it’s in.
