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?

Tree is almost 3 ft in diameter, Sugar Maple. Girdling root is about 2.5 inches. Suspect scarring is being caused by this restriction, I’ve cleaned and covered those. There’s still good growth in the scarring, but it and matching cracks go up about 10 ft.

Should I cut? Obviously probably should have done when I first moved in 5 years ago, but didn’t realize these were an issue until recently.

This mold looking thing grows on my tree every year. Should I do something?

Nothing else to say other than I felt this was cool
