Never seen this before. Just fungus?
Attached are before and after photos of my Monkey puzzle, a little over a year apart. On one hand I have more browning un the time between, with the lower most branch preparing to drop, on the other I have seen a huge boom of new growth, with the newer lower branch almost reaching the rim of the pot, lots of little new ones and the top has swollen in size.
Should I be concerned about this browning compared to new growth, especially as we go into the hot Australian summer, or should I be alright for now?
Sorry i don't have any close up pictures. In south east Queensland.
I am wanting some smaller landscape trees for my yard. We have a million Virginia pines in the woods around the house but I’d absolutely love a “Christmas” type tree. Columnar or pyramidal that stays under 20’x8’. My favorite look is that of Korean fir, Serbian spruce, Norway spruce. Any ideas?
Found this guy growing in a crack. Not sure what it is but I might put it in a pot. I'd just like to have some idea what I might be adopting. It's about 3-4 inches.Thanks
Struggling to get a solid ID with this. I wish I could remember more about the tree. Found in a park in the UK..
Cryptomeria japonica is my favorite non-native species of tree! I've planted many varieties over the years. I've just moved into a new place that came with no trees and I've already put in a Cryptomeria 'Sekkan' in the front. On the opposite side of the property' there is room for another large tree in the corner, and I was looking to do Cryptomeria 'Yakushima Blue' (next to a Japanese Umbrella Pine). I live in South Carolina. Are there any mail order nurseries/ universities/ greenhouses I should ask?
What is the difference between Pinus Pinea and Pinus Pinea "Silver Crest". Is it the same species but with a fancy name ? I have done extensive googling and did not find any information at all.
Is this a type of Sequoia? Was in awesome seeing this in San Diego County.
Eastern hemlock, balsam fir, white spruce, red spruce, and black spruce
Has two needles per fascicles and small black/purple cones. Saw it in Lunenberg.
