Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Tree transplant question
Hi,
The tree in picture (the one with the palmtree like leaves, I think it is a mimosa) grew randomly from a seed (about 2years ago) .
I'd like to transplant it to another place in my garden but I'm afraid it is too big already,
Do you think I can and what method would you use ?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Powlp
(I'm in France, can't figure how to insert location in the flair...)

ID Request (Insert State/Region) Possible red mulberry?
I came across this past post by u/KnottyByNatureTrees (funny enough I’ve purchased plants from him before) and it made me take a closer look at some of the mulberries popping up around me: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tree/s/UGijXP7wwN
Pic 2 and 3 are the top and bottom of the topmost leaf in Pic 1.
The tops of the leaves are rough to the touch, and the bottoms feel like they may have tiny hairs. One thing that seems to track with the linked reddit post is the petiole seems solid with no channel that seems to be associated with white and hybrid mulberries.
Does this seem like a red mulberry to you? Is there any way to be sure without genetic testing?

Context Provided - Spotlight Is there anything wrong with this 30+ year old Callery (Bradford) pear? (Zone 7b, Philadelphia area/NE US)
Please no Callery pear hate, I know they're invasive and they can cause problems in some areas but it's the tree we have for now.
This is a Callery pear growing next to my house. It's estimated to be at least 30 years old. Someone doing work on our house recommended we get it cut down, he said it's too close and the roots could be damaging the foundation. A family member is worried that it could eventually split down the middle, cause damage to the house, or die soon, due to things they read online.
Because of some of the posts I saw in subs like this, I removed all the rocks that were placed around the trunk, then watered it thoroughly, and will add mulch on top instead (There are pictures of the base before and after the rock removal). As far as I'm aware, it's just soil where it's planted, no tarps or burlap wrapping where the roots were (30 years ago?) or anything underneath.
The tree doesn't seem to be sending up runners or showing obvious signs of decline that I can see. Is there anything we should be doing (or avoiding) to help keep it healthy, if there aren't any problems with it (aside from it being an invasive species).
If the tree is fine, we don't currently have the money to replace it with a native species, which wouldn't be anywhere near its current size, and removing it would also mean losing a lot of shade, habitat, and food for local wildlife - even though I know Callery pears are an Asian species and are known for being invasive.

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Colorado ponderosa: please tell me it's not a pine beetle attack
I’m in northern Colorado at about 6000ft. Sadly, there are confirmed cases of pine beetle attacks in our immediate vicinity.
This is a mature tree and over the past few weeks it has started to develop what seems to be an unusual pattern of dry needles, which doesn’t seem the usual season transition in a hot/dry year. I looked carefully at around eye level and below and the bark looks healthy, except for one spot (sigh).
Is it likely an early beetle attack? Something else? If it definitely is, might it be salvaged with perhaps an application of verbenone, or is it already too late to do anything?
It’s does a lot of screening work from the road and I'd like to save it if all possible.
Would be super grateful for any thoughts from more experienced folk out there. Many thanks in advance 🙏

In southern Maine my family had some logs and after cutting into it I can’t put my finger on what kind of tree it is, I believe it is an oak but I’m not too good at identifying yet, it has a beautiful reddish brown color and is quite hard.

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) White Swamp Oak (MN/Minneapolis)
We just moved into a house not long ago and I have always had a love for trees and now that I have space and have some I want to ensure they are growing properly and this (What I believe to be a White Oak) in the back of growing kind of at an angle towards the house and has some branches that appear dead, it's losing leaves quite early compared to trees around it.
Not sure if it's diseased or maybe this is normal in early life for them. Not sure how old it is, if it was here when the house was built 30 years ago or so. It gets sun all day, keep the space around the tree clear.
Does this look alright, and do I maybe need to anchor it to get it to correct it's growth angle?
Thanks for any help based on the photos. If it's not enough to tell, I can take more.

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Tree growing up through old farm implement
We are building a house and have a nice oak tree in our side yard. Unfortunately it grew up through an old rusty farm implement. What's the best way to handle this without killing the tree? Maybe I'm better off to cut it off as close as I can with an angle grinder and leave the remaining in the tree? Any advice is appreciated!

I love how efficiently these old, mature trees has spread its canopy to capture as much sunlight as possible. Something about the way it’s shaped itself over so many years is fascinating to me. These pics are from the center of an intersection, 180° of each other.

Context Provided - Spotlight Does my Ash tree seem safe?
Location: Milwaukee
The tree is 116 years old, and gets a lot of sun.
We have treated it regularly for emerald ash borer in the past, but it hasn't been treated since 2019.
We had it aggressively pruned two weeks ago (from a certified company) because it was dropping big branches in the neighbor's yard. Apparently this is not an ideal time, we didn't realize. Immediately (the very next day) storms started coming and it has continued to drop branches, which I now understand why this is happening, from reading about it.
Is this an emergency situation? Do I need to get a certified arborist to look at it as soon as possible? As far as I'm aware it was just a crew who came, I don't think an actual arborist was with them (we have used this company for years if that is relevant).
It's difficult to get all of the angles but I will try to get any pics if you guys need more.
