We have a rose of sharon bush that was pruned to grow like a tree by the previous home owner. It is leaning for sunlight and the base is cracking. Any suggestions? Should we do something to support it - what would that entail, is it too late?!

thank you

NH, USA

I removed a few trees as they were too close together and one burning bush (invasive) was taking over. It revealed this crabapple tree but it appears half the tree is dead? No leaves or fruits, dry twigs... is it doomed? Can I do anything to save it?

I live is north west Alabama. Lynn, Alabama is right next to me. Half of my property is untouched woods and I don’t go in here to often but I noticed a tree fell over during a storm im guessing(we get some serious wind here) ,and I was gonna use it for firewood since the big beauty is no more. I just wanted to make sure this is a white oak, my area consists of white and red oak from what I have researched. There could be other kinds too in this area ,im not a expert tree guy so correct me please. And if anyone could guess how long it’s been down could you tell me please.

I inserted picture of baby tree leaves that are near the stump that I’m sure came from this tree.
Appreciate all the help. Thank y’all !!

I found this elm tree (I think?) in a nearby forest with bright red, blood-like resin oozing out of its trunk from several, rather long wounds.

If I know correctly it is a form of defense mechanism. I don't think it's physical trauma caused by people or animals.

Could it be the sign of a fungal/bacterial infection similar to ash dieback?

I found this growth on an oak tree branch at a neighborhood park in the Chicago area. I saw another grouping on a separate branch that was a mix of this darker brown and more green “pods”. Any ideas what the “pods” are?

Planted about three years ago in Ohio. Full sun, not much manual watering. Planted from a container.

Leaves crisped up this year and many dropped. Severe damage to trunk near the ground.

What are the chances it will thrive in the future?

If the prognosis isn't good, any native recommendations?

Thanks!

Every few years it does this, not sure if there is a natural cycle? I had to prop this branch up with a stake so the branch doesn’t break off. It’s one of our top 10 trees on our property.

I've found several conjoined acorns on the ground. They don't appear to have holes in them (indicating weevils or parasite activity, according to Chatgpt).

Any idea what could have caused this?

Gorgeous tree. The doctor at the office in whose yard this tree is located in gave me some seeds and let me take the seedlings! Not a native tree, which is my forte, but they don’t really interact with our environment in any positive or negative way so admiration is prescribed for this one! Id love to hear your guys age estimates! I estimate 150-200.

Hello I am located in the DFW area and I planted this tree about 6 months ago and it always had a slight lean but I know staking is usually unnecessary. Recently had a microburst with very strong gusts and I believe it might have gotten more angled. Should I stake or just let it be?

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Oak dripping fluid from old cut (Cleveland, OH)

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hello!

We have a beautiful oak tree in our backyard that we really love. We are located on the east side of Cleveland, in Ohio. Geauga County.

Recently it started dripping sap? Fluid? Liquid of some sort, from an old, healed over cut.

This is not a cut that we made, that pruned place has been there since before we moved into the house (10 years ago?). There are other very similar pruned places on the tree that do not seem to be dripping fluid.

I suppose it's possible it's dripped from there before and we've just never noticed it?

It dripped onto the back of a chair that we have out there and dripped onto my face the one day.

It didn't smell pleasant? Musty and a bit rancid smelling.

Is there something we need to do? We don't want to lose this tree, we very much like it.

I've attached some photographs of the tree, the spot in question, as well as the discoloration on the back of the chair from where it dripped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks folks!

ID Request (Insert State/Region) Prunus?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi all. Trying to ID this tree. I’m in coastal Hancock county, Maine, US. Tree has likely been here for decades. I’ve included pics that I think will be helpful. This tree is probably 30-35’ tall. It’s absolutely loaded with these small fruits, which each contain a single hard seed that is large relative to the size of the fruit. It smells mild and pleasant, and produces the same color and consistency juice when crushed as a store-bought cherry. Tree is currently stressed from drought in the area (maybe 1” of rain in the last 6-8 weeks).

AI (I know, I know) seems to think this is a P. serotina. Opinions and suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
