Trees
Above ground, trees and shrubs perform important environmental services by providing food and shelter to people and wildlife, oxygenating the air, and beautifying the landscape. Below ground, their roots open up critical passageways for the movement of air, moisture, and soil food web members.

Do oyster mushrooms grow on live maple trees?
Oyster mushrooms typically grow on decaying wood rather than live trees. While they can colonize dead or dying hardwoods, including maple, they do not usually thrive on healthy, living maple trees. If you see oyster mushrooms growing on a maple, it may indicate that the tree is stressed or has internal decay.
Is a bigleaf maple from a conifer or a deciduous tree?
The bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) is a deciduous tree. It is known for its large leaves and is primarily found in the western regions of North America. Unlike coniferous trees, which typically have needle-like leaves and produce cones, bigleaf maples shed their leaves in the fall.
When do you prune an osmanthus?
I have a bunch of Oleanders and I've found that if I prune them right after they lose their blooms they will re-bloom the following spring. If I wait until late summr or fall they will not bloom the following spring.
How can you stop a ficus tree from releasing a sticky film on the floor?
If possible, take the tree outside, spray it off paying particular attention to the bottom of the leaves. Repeat this process every few days for a while and see if you can reduce the problem. If you have any other houseplants, they too are probably affected, just not as noticeable. Ficus can be rinsed off, but some other plants can't. It might be necessary to use an insecticide on other plants. Check with local plant specialists, but realize that it won't do any good to get rid of the pests on your ficus without taking care of the other plants.
Another thing I do when dealing with spider mites, is to replace some of the soil in the top of the pot with clean potting soil. Before you hose down your ficus, scoop out as much of the top layer of soil as you can and replace with fresh potting soil (I use the organic potting soil that is widely available even at Walmart) and then hose the ficus. If it is cold out where you live, you can put the ficus in the shower. It is a wet operation. You want to make sure to turn the branches as much as you can to rinse off the undersides of the leaves where the spider mites hide. Usually ficus are too large for application with insecticidal soaps, which are also effective but the showering is very effective though it might need to be done several times a month to really eradicate them. Also keep in mind that spider mites like low humidity so you will want to increase the humidity around this plant. Place the pot on a tray of pebbles and fill the tray with water. Mist your ficus if possible, making sure to get the undersides of leaves. This will somewhat help prevent an infestation from recurring.
Also, check the soil for soil mealy bugs, they leave a white film in the soil that looks like powder, check to see if there are small white rice looking critters with a white film around them.
