Tree Care

Prune it after leaf fall. It depends why you want to prune it. Trees dont usually need pruned as it spoils their natural shape. If it has become too large for its space then cut it back but remember pruning causes more growth.

Not really. In some places Magnolias are grown against walls like a climber.

Cut it down - I did.

Any organic material will do just make sure the ground is well watered before you put the mulch on.

Hopefully, you bought it from a reputable nursery--was it severely root bound when you removed it from its pot? Give it some time to recover from being planted. Usually, you would water it every day for the first week and then weekly for several weeks to help it get established. You wouldn't fertilize it. If it dies, the receipt and the return of the tree would usually get you a refund.

Its either dry at the roots or suffering from wind burn. Japanese maples require a bit of shelter.

Sadly, there is no way to stop it totally. Your best bet would be Florel. It will reduce seed production (cotton). You will likely have to hire a professional arborist to do the job, but it may be worth it to keep from being buried in cotton every spring. Timing is important, hence the recommendation for the arborist, plus they have the necessary equipment to adequately cover the trees. This will cut the cotton down 20-85% if done right.

These branches are dead, cut them off.

There are two possible causes of a Laburnum tree's sudden death. One could be silver leaf disease. Another is phytophthora root disease.

It could be a large number of reasons. Usually the fuel system is the 1st to check, in the case of the symptom you describe.

The frequency of watering a coco palm depends on the environment it is in. Keep the soil moist to the touch, but do not saturate the soil.

Summer to early Autumn.

In LA, my smoke trees leaves became dry because of the salt in the tap water. Use a reverse osmosis filter on your hose or just let nature water it. Worked for me!

Hi, I don't have an answer for you, but I have a tree in the same distress. Has yours either recovered or died? Thanks, Sherry

depends on the tree. some trees have violent root growth and should be avoided in a privet garden especially close to wells, walls, sewage and anything underground. consult a local gardening store or tree nursery

You may just need to water your tea tree more. You can also add fertilizer to ensure it has the proper nutrients.

Yes, quaking aspens can be planted in a pot. However, the trees will eventually outgrow it and need to be transferred to the ground.

At a guess, I'd say you pull the lever towards you, away from the chain bar.

Be sure to rake up all of the acorns that fall on the ground.

at least in my area the black is the excrement of pests on the plants. it can be mold or fungus, too. there are many many things it could be depending on the plant type and region. if you are looking for a specific answer, take a sample of the leaves in to a knowledgeable nursery (most likely a non-corporate nursery)

it needs to be old enough, big enough, water sunlight fertilization and pollination from a different plum tree via bees

Different plumcots have different specific pollinators. In addition to plums Goldkist and other apricots will cross polinate. The Santa Rosa plum tree and Burgundy plum tree are good pollinators as well.

Cherry trees can grown in sandy soil as long as their drainage is good. Trees will not do as well if the water remains after a few hours of no rain.

I just went to the tree store today and they quoted me $400 for a 15 foot shade tree with a 4 inch diameter trunk (at base).
