Planted some Japanese cherry trees 5yrs ago. And the trunksize went from 1" to 3".
But. I'm unsure if the spacing is too tight between them.
180cm. ( 5.9feet ).
The fence is facing south, so the area around the trees are almost always in shadow.
Is there any concern? And also, are these trees any resell value?
Hi, it's hard to see from the pictures but we have a maple tree that has some branches on one side where leaves didn't come in this spring. It had a crack on the trunk from a few years ago, but it looks like it healed. My very small male dog does pee on that tree a lot ( probably mainly the side the trees is dying on). Any suggestions we can try first? Anything to rule out first? I don't even know how expensive an arborist is....
Please help! We purchased our first home around 6 months ago and the old owners were very into gardening and we are very much not (but would love to be!). From what we can tell, This is a Japanese maple, but that's as far as our knowledge really goes. We are concerned that we've potentially over watered it but I am also just hoping that this is what it looks like in autumn?? We desperately dont want to kill it, please help! The last photo is what it looked like a few months ago (sorry I dont have a better photo)
We just had an Arborist here to identify our tree. Now we finally know what it is. A Black Cherry Tree! It’ll be trimmed back later this year, since it’s growing very close to the house. Turns out, it’s more like an ornamental, like he said. It’s been growing for close to 20 years. The flowers are a little funky smelling & it grows berries in the fall. So pretty & the birds like it. We hope to have it for many more years.
Is this tree too far gone or can I bring this tree back to life ?
HOA added rocks today. Does the base of the tree need to be cleared for the roots? I was able to see the roots before now.
I am also concerned with the cracking but not sure how to address it. May need to write a whole email to the HOA for failing to maintain this tree.
I have a massive water oak that an independent arborist recommended for removal. I’ve had several (8+ 😆) tree companies out to give me quotes. The price ranges are crazy! Anywhere between 6k and 21k for removal. Each have different methods and ideas on how to remove.
My guy is telling me to go with one of the lower quotes and that I don’t need the Cadillac company to remove it.
A little back ground, I am in a densely populated area with a house next door and one behind (separated by an alley).
Talk me into or out of going with one of the lower cost options. All companies are insured and have sent me their COI. Is there anything I should do/add on to my homeowners policy to cover me as well in case of any issues?
Pics of the tree, I have a ton more if anyone wants to see.
I inherited this tree when I bought the house. It occurred to me i should probably prune it.. but I have no idea what to do.
Also,... Is this thing gonna be a nightmare to clean up after? Those seed pods are giving me dirty looks.... Already dealing with a catalpa down the street
Had to share this behemoth of an Oak tree my MIL fell in love with when they toured their house 40 years ago and one of the reasons they bought it. From what the local arborist group believes its one of the 10 oldest trees in their town and people likely used it for shade during the revolutionary war.
I recall reading about paw paw fruit when I lived on West Coast, and jumped at the opportunity to buy one to plant on my sister’s land.
Now, it’s been in the ground for 2 weeks and is not looking any better.
Do I need to cut away the darker areas (my hand with stubby fingers outline area)?
I planted this in a hole approximately 18” deep and 18” across. Filled with a mix of topsoil, compost, worm castings, and clay that came out of said hole.
TIA for any insight.
This trees roots span yard and pop suckers out of the ground relentlessly
Do I dig out the roots that cross the yard and keep tree or evict both?
Should I treat the lawn to retard or prevent the new tree shoots?

I've tried the air layer and ground layer but any idea on how to use this broken material? It just came off the tree
I was trying to help this tree and ended up breaking these two off. I'm thinking no but figured I'd ask as it's sad to see them go to the trash lol
I noticed these color changes in this tree. Is it okay? Anything to be concerned about?
I transplanted these oak seedlings together. I've known I needed to cut one, but I procrastinated...for roughly 12 years. Which one should I choose?
👋 I have an older Elm that's got something going on. Did my Google diligence and just don't feel sure I've come up with the right answer.
As you can see there is damage to many leaves. Some of the stipled lighter areas are raised, some flat. Most brown spots are towards the leaf tips, but not all. And there are holes in several leaves.
The problem persists as far up the tree as I am able to see and is not isolated to any particular branches.
I've included photos of not-leaf stuff where I found anything notable - 10. Discoloration 11+12. Holes at the base of the trunk. They aren't much deeper than what the light allows you to see. 13. Brown patches look like recent bark abrasion to me, not sure what could have caused it.
The holes in the leaves have me leaning pest (closest I found was European Elm Flea Weevil), vs fungus or anything else.
What do you think? Thanks
Seems like those vines are pretty invasive on this tree. I am planning to trim the tree but should I also get rid of the vines?
Thanks
We have lived in our house for approximately a year and a half and in the front yard is a dogwood that is struggling. Our yard was neglected by the previous owners and then we did a significant remodel which meant we neglected it as well for almost a year. I cut off the main trunk and a significant branch that were completely dead approximately 18 months ago and at that time there were some small suckers coming up from the ground. I decided to leave them because they looked healthy and the rest of the main tree does not look super healthy. As I hope is noticeable from the attached picture, these suckers have grown significantly and appeared to be rather healthy.
My question is, does it make sense to cut down the main tree to allow the roots to focus on these suckers and hopefully grow a new, healthier tree or is the whole thing likely to be lost regardless?
There are insect holes all over the main trunk but I don’t know if those were the cause of the die back or the result of an already dying tree. They do appear old as I’ve been paying attention and don’t see any new activity.
Hello everyone! I was gardening today when I noticed my 4 year old Willow tree had an opening at the base of the trunk. I removed some dirt around the base and bark. It easily came off, some bugs living under the bark.
Is this a fungal infection? Any ideas on how to help the tree?
This big tree is directly uphill from my house/patio and I’m starting to get a little concerned about the condition of the base of it.
The canopy still looks healthy to me, but the bark around the bottom of the trunk is falling off, some of the roots look rotten/dead, and there are little shoots growing out of the trunk/root area. The roots are really exposed because it’s on a slope.
Main thing I’m trying to figure out is whether this looks normal for an old tree or if this is the kind of thing that could become dangerous in heavy rain/wind.
Does this look concerning from a structural standpoint? Would you guys have an arborist come look at this ASAP or am I overreacting?
Located in the Boston/New England area if that helps.
