Just curious what caused this. It's in a protected biom due to endangered frogs and birds living there.

Thanks.

This guy is a sight. Not only is it a 3 headed monster, It was topped for some reason in the past giving it wild fingers. The branches hang like a willow, and it creates beautiful curtains in the summer and fall.

I really want apples from them, they are about 5ft tall. Any care advice is appreciated. I’d like to keep them in the pots if possible. Really well draining and it’s compost.

Hello all, I pulled back a big amount of soil and mulch which were covering the trunk of this small Red Summer Maple (the red dot indicates how high the soil and mulch were). I wanted to expose the root flare. I noticed a good amount of roots had been growing throughout the mulch and very close to the surface. I pretty much trimmed them all so all the root growth efforts can go towards those roots under the surface. Was this a good action from my part? I just felt doubtful about cutting all those roots which were sticking above ground.

Hi, I’m in Southern California and Palm Springs area. We planted medjool dates. We have six at the property. This one was planted in October and the only one historically dying. Need to find out the cause. Any help would be awesome and would be very appreciative. Has one large sprinkler that feeds it.

I have a big question, I have a young lapins cherry tree, I bought it in late March (autumn in my country), and it's 4years old and currently about 2 meters in height and lives in a very big pot (I had to fill it with a bit more than 15kg of soil when I planted it).

My problem is, I would rather have the tree grow to the sides first, as I don't own the house I live in now but I have plans to buy one with my current partner in the next five years, and moving a relatively tall cherry tree would be much more complex than moving a roughly hedge shaped one.

The question is, about how much of the trunk can I trim off (once the tree is dormant for winter), without it being too harmful for the tree? Ideally I would trim it back to about 1m of height, but I don't know if that could kill it or harm it in any other ways.

The tree currently looks like a stick more or less, and has already grown fruit, we had around 10 cherries this year, I'm not currently at home so I don't really have a picture of the tree

Would it be possible to take a tree out of the ground and flip it upside down and pace it back into the ground. After doing this would the tree still live? Like would it grow leaves on the roots? Because I feel like the roots are very similar and to the top
