I recently purchased and planted a Parfianka Pomegranate. Here's a photo: https://tomk.xyz/images/parfianka/Parfianka.jpg

I cleaned up the roots a bit before planting in an effort to avoid girdling roots. I also planted at an appropriate depth (it was way too deep in the nursery container).

Now that it's planted, my attention is drawn to the branches. Here's a closeup: https://tomk.xyz/images/parfianka/ParfiankaCloseup.jpg

I'm concerned that the center branch that was obviously pruned at the nursery is going to cause problems for branch immediately to the left of it. This, in conjunction with my desire to have a single-stem tree makes me think that I ought to prune off the left branch, as well as trimming the other dead branch back to the collar.

With that in mind, I'm also worried that this might not be a great time to do this kind of pruning, especially since I did remove some roots.

So, what do you all think? How should I proceed?

hi everyone!! im a graphic design student doing my thesis project right now and was hoping to get some community responses! i'm looking for people to send/reply with photos of their favourite trees, trees that you appreciate, trees you have memories with etc etc!!! any response is appreciated !!! :))))

As asked in the title, why do leaves stay at the tip of branches, I took this picture about a month ago because I was wondering why this was happening, I'm not sure what type of tree it is, but it's a tree in Wisconsin if that helps narrow it down as to why this happens,

I live in South Africa and I am trying to identify what tree this is? I’ve seen similar species on the tropical coast. Any help?

Our lovely mature hemlock has suddenly turned yellow and has the telltale white goo at the base of the needles. But here's the catch: we have well water and it's only about 25 feet away from our well.

Would you be concerned about using systemic insecticides so close to a well? There are no waterways in the immediate vicinity, it's just a groundwater issue.

Grateful for any advice!

I have a deep hatred for camel thorn trees You know, in most countries, they got multiple types of trees in the wild. Where I come from in namibia. We got the same tree all over the place. And it's just a camel round tree and all its family members in the same family group. So if you don't got trees that you planted yourself that's what you're dealing with and most trees is just camel thorn trees unless they end up in the yards or been planted before. Camel thorn trees are just some thorny ass trees, nothing else like when it comes to wood.can even make good plywood from them ass trees tbh.

I’m in the process of buying a home that was built in 1986, and there’s a laurel oak growing fairly close to the exterior wall. I know certain tree types can be a risk to foundations, and I'm concerned this one could be causing or could eventually cause damage.

The home inspection didn’t mention any foundation issues, but I’ve heard mixed things about trees this close to a house. For anyone with experience: Are laurel oaks known for damaging foundations? If I do decide to remove it, could the soil settle and create new problems for the foundation? I like the home but want to understand if this is a dealbreaker I should seriously consider. Any advice or similar experiences?

Curious about what causes those stunning fall colors? In my latest video, I dive into the fascinating science behind the seasonal transformation of leaves! From the breakdown of chlorophyll to the role of pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins, discover how and why leaves shift from green to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows.

You’re driving through an old neighborhood, and just off the curb, the road is lined with massive old shade trees.

What kind of tree is that for you? (Ex: oak, elm)

Hey all, Im back again. For those that dont know me, I am a videographer that specializes in filming arborists. Im 5000 subs into my second channel. My first channel was with Guilty of Treeson and he is now over a million subscribers.

Just wanted to drop another video for you all. If you havent seen the channel yet, I definitely recommend it! We are constantly putting out content. We were in talks with Discovery channel last summer but negotiations broke down and it never got my name up on tv but that should give you an idea of the type of content we put out. The drop zone on this one was the size of your typical bathroom and the tree was huge.

Be patient for the first 15 seconds., youtube compressed the #$% out of it but it clears up at about the 15 second mark. So without futher adeiu I give you Ballard Tree Removal from Seattle Tree Care - enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xaw9SKCXZIQ

Hi all,

I am looking to plant about 4 oak trees to offer a visual distraction from an electrical substation that was recently installed near my property.

Growing up, my parents had a handful of pin oak trees. They are very nice trees, but the limbs have a tendency to sag downwards which is problematic when trying to mow underneath.

The nursery I would like to purchase from seems to have a very good selection of Pin Oaks, and limited numbers of red or white.

Does anyone know if a white or red oak would be better from this perspective?
