I have an old maple tree that has developed something on the trunk. I moved into this house in Jan. 2002 and the tree was here long before I got here. I am hoping someone can tell me what is going on and perhaps give a suggestion what to do. It starts at the bottom and goes up about ten feet. Thanks.
You must have found it since you've replied to it twice since it's been moved. Any rate, to see where a particular thread is, just scroll up to the top of the page. You'll see this thread is in "Gardening and Horticulture".
The trunk appears to be dying. I suspect the damage originated when the tree was struck by lightening during a storm. Are the other trunks damaged? If not, remove the damaged trunk shown in the photo. As a side note, I believe we are looking at an elm tree.
Hello everyone. I’m here to seek assistance for my leach field that is out in front of the deck of our home. We live on about 2 1/2 acres but most of it is wooded and partly a ravine so the only spot for our Leach field was about 10 feet out in front of our deck. It’s fine I don’t mind it but my eventual goal is this.
I would like to prep this area for a wildflower garden and put some beehives out in this area. I will not be planting anything with deep roots, no garden, etc. it’s about 100 feet long and about 55 feet out from our deck as far as general measurements of the whole area go. What I plan to do is utilize some large basketball size boulders that we have in and around the property to make a rough border around the Leach field, turn it into a wildflower area and then put two beehives out there next year sometime. My question is what do I need to do to prep this area for the flowers? This area is approximately 2 1/2 years old from having the septic system put in and so it’s relatively smooth with grass as well as some weeds that have taken over. You can’t see bare dirt anymore.
Thank you in advance for your assistance
Hello! Looking for some insight on what might be happening to my occidental. It looks decent on the outside but when I ran my hand through it the leaves inside are brown.
I planned on shaping it with a light trimming in a week or so, but now I think I have to delay that. I just wanted to keep the general cone shape and make sure it doesn’t get too tall.
Wondering if this is a watering issue? It never really got very cold here this winter. It was regularly watered through last summer and fall though.
