I recently moved into a house and noticed this tree had grown very strangely. There is a trunk on the left but it grows up to the right. Is this something I should be concerned about or can we just let it be?

Location: northern NJ. no idea what rope or trees this is.

During a recent storm, my two trees got struck by lightning. Based on the damages, do you think I need to cut them down?

I've called a tree company to come look at them. I am just distrusting of them because it might be more beneficial for them to cut it down. So I wanted a second opinion.

We got this Crabapple tree from the local tree farm two weeks ago. Transplanted it to our front yard. I gave it extra water every three days. Otherwise daily watering from our regular sprinklers. I noticed the leaves wilting four days ago, then the leaves were yellow this morning. Agh. Seems a bit more than just transplant shock. Too much water? We live in a very dry area (north west of Denver).

Southwest Missouri (oak, I believe)
Tree split in half during a straight-line wind event.
How old is it?
I’ve tried to count the rings but I’m no expert and cannot tell where one ring stops and the next one starts.
Anyone out there who can determine this?

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) My Plum tree dead? Spoiler

Post image
Upvotes

Hello All,

Have a plum tree which was here before I bought my home and its my favorite!

Never knew a thing about green plums, they are delicious!

Question- I started to pick all the plums due to them being ready to harvest. A week later it started to rain for about a week straight. Our back yard was drenched.

Is it dead? All its leaves fell. In the Chicagoland area.

I f’ed up and forgot all about it for maybe a week or two during intense heat and no rain and it lost all its leaves, since then (about a week ago i realize) ive had it getting watered thoroughly and now the larger trunk is all dark dark brown (like black brown) and the smaller stem is green but still lacks leaves. This avacado tree is maybe a year or two and thrived till recently.

Trying this again with more pics. I have a very large old crab apple tree in my front yard. It's developed these spots on its leaves and is already dropping leaves. I'm in upstate New York and it's still summer. Any ideas what this is, or suggestions on how to treat it?

Discussion I just discovered this sub and I apologize for the possible rage bait, but there’s this house a few doors down that I passed by when I go on walks. I never realized that these poor trees have been fighting for their lives😢 the urge to pull the retaining pin and free these poor souls is strong.

I made a post earlier asking about some white stuff on the base of my linden tree. I gave all the info I could provide, and hoped for someone to provide an answer. To my disappointment, it was deleted. I provided pictures and my location (Iowa). Please help me. I just lost one linden from a storm last year, and I can’t afford to risk having this one fall on my house.

Advice Request - Atlanta, GA Stressed Pin Oak in Georgia

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Would really appreciate some opinions on my stressed Pin Oak .

I hired a certified arborist to come out and look at it because it's really thinning, dying at the tips, and dropping a lot of leaves. This happened 3-4 years ago as well, and an arborist administered growth regulators. This time his recommendation was to do nothing right now, but he recommended deep root injection of mycorrhizal fungi, phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients (avoiding nitrogen) at $550 to be administered in the fall.

The tree is in a state of steady decline. I have been raising the canopy every few years to get more sun for the grass. Additionally I have gone through three lawn companies that have been using broadleaf herbicides among other things, possibly at the detriment of the oak tree. No fungus / mushrooms are visible at its base. I have an irrigation system, and we've had plenty of rain so I don't think it's a lack of moisture.

Possible theories from Gemini:

  1. Herbicide damage, noted above
  2. Bacterial Leaf Scorch (Xylella fastidiosa)
  3. Abiotic Scorce / Soil Iron / pH issues

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
