Power company did some trimming, they went past my property line and cut down some other trees but thats a different issue.

They were particularly aggressive with this live oak and im not sure it will survive.

They offered to take it all the way down for free if I didnt want it anymore.

If it will grow back in and provide shade again il keep it but if its going to decline and die it would be better to have them take it at the cost.

had to cut a huge aspen and these cedar saplings got damaged in the process, can they still grow up healthy or should I cut them to avoid increasing risk of disease?

So, my Apple trees look like they’re dying. The leaves on each one are like crispy and some spots are turning brown. They’re really dry and I’ve been watering it twice every week. And it definitely sucks going into the winter time.

I asked my mom about what I should do about three months ago, and she told me that I should make a spray for it and I think that worsened its condition. She told me to put a cap full of oil vinegar, and baking soda with the rest being water. That definitely helped too speed up the damage.😅

I know it must have some type of disease, but I don’t know what to give it. After I did that spray thing and it didn’t work I went to Lowe’s and they told me to get copper fungicide spray. I’ve used it once on both trees and I don’t see a difference. I don’t wanna keep using it and unintentionally make it worse again. Please let me know what things I can try to save my Apple trees.

Thanks for reading!

Noticed a “growth” at the base of my large oak tree. It’s a huge beautiful tree and I don’t want to cut it down. Had a local company come out and take a look. They recommended cutting the tree down before it falls. Of course, at a hefty price tag. Wanted to confirm the diagnosis. Located in Texas.

Mods feel free to remove this if it violates guidelines I'm new to this sub just don't ban me plz 🙏🏻

Any consulting arborist or tree service business owner who wants to share their story on my podcast (The Land and Tree Service Podcast on Spotify) can comment down below.

Ideally I'm looking to have someone who can share what led them get in this industry, how they get customers, what they did to scale operations and mistakes to avoid

Just doing it as a way to build a community not charging for appearances :)

Had a question for you all. I had some limbs that were cracked at the base that I had removed today. Well, they told me carpenter ants basically hollowed out the tree and it needs to be removed (white oak). They showed me some cross sections as well 🫣

Do you think 6k is a fair price? It’s behind a townhome and they said they can’t get any machines back there. Thanks in advance!
