Yesterday I planted a 7’ tall pin oak from a 5 gallon pot that looks like it was container grown most or all of its life. I did prune some of the roots around the trunk and made 3 tepid cuts from the trunk outwards. So some of the fibrous roots running along the outside and top were straightened out but I would estimate less than half. This was a spur of the moment purchase and all my experience comes from growing and planting herbaceous natives so I did some research briefly before planting. However today I fear I did not cut and straighten out enough of the roots. I did plant it higher then it was in the pot, as it had small fibrous roots growing on top, but I never saw any larger roots so I’m concerned it’s still planted to deeply and there may be larger roots wrapped around the trunk below. Accounting for the root system of pin oaks does anyone have any advice for me? My plan as of now is to remove dirt away from the tree and poke around the trunk to find a larger root and see how deep it is as well as cutting more of the fibrous roots. Then if need be I can lift it back out to plant it higher. Thanks!

Help identifying this guy I found in San Diego.

This is a 38 year old 80’ tall pine tree located in southern Kentucky. I’ve noticed since last year the bark is splitting pretty bad on the tree. It’s right between two houses and I’m getting concerned about it falling since there have already been a couple large limbs fall out over the past couple of years. Is there anything I can do to help it?

Please identify this tree and is it too close to the house?

I’m not getting good identification from online tree identification apps. This is in Northern California Bay Area. This tree branched into 7 branches at the base. One branch was cut before we bought the house and last year we cut 2 more branches as one was leaning onto the roof.

Im worried whether this has invasive roots and may damage the foundation. No foundation issues were flagged during house inspection. should I get the tree removed completely and grind the stump?

Is it possible to relocate this tree without damaging the fence and the tree? This tree ramdomly grew here about 4 years ago, and now it’s a good 15 ft tall. I’m concerned about the fence and would like to relocate it to a different spot that could use the shade.

Thanks!

Southern Ontario. I planted a dozen silver maples 3 years ago. They all seem to have various severity of whatever this is. The trees are all growing nicely and are starting to bloom. I thought maybe moisture under the bark and froze. Anyone know what this is?

Just saw this while I was tending to my lawn. It is on the other side of our fence but still our property. We just had a new fence installed last week and would hate to have it wrecked. Should we have this tree cut down?

I’m planning to purchase a Chief Joseph pine tree for my front yard. I’m in the PNW.

1- anything concerning about this pine tree that should know about ?

2- how close to the house concrete wall foundation can I plan this tree?

Hello, we recently had this tree planted by our builder outside our new home. What tree is this? Is this flowering and how tall does it they grow? Any issues planting them closer to house?

Thank you!
