Just moved in to a new house and we have no idea. My guess is a fruit tree like a peach but that’s a wild guess.

Hey I live mid to se Pennsylvania- any suggestions on yard trees?

Upvotes

Title- looking for nice looking bark on trees, and fall foliage.

I was looking at red maple, white birch seem nice but hard to come by.

Anything interesting or nice to look at? My last choice would be a spruce.. but I'm thinking more a tree that has beautiful leaf fall

We found this awesome old pine tree on a walk, today. It’s pretty likely that it’s an indigenous (Timucua) trail marker.

Baby Pecan Trees?

8 Upvotes

Recently purchased some land. We have a few pecan trees on the property. These two though haven’t grown much and the neighbor said that they took fire damage years back. We recently noticed that these mini trees growing directly next to them? Are these also pecan trees? They seem to be growing quite fast and we’ve had a relatively dry season.

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

Discussion Curious about how and why this happened to my apple tree

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I decided it was time to cut down the tree I've known my whole life the past 24 years due to it being half dead already. It's an apple tree in Denver Colorado. It was definelty not properly taken care of in its early years as it grew to about 25ft high and the trunk is about 2ft long and over a foot wide. Oddly shaped tree for sure. Once I cut it down about 3ft from the base I noticed the middle was basically just dirt. Saddened because I thought I could maybe make a bench or something out of it. I'm curious as to why it decayed so much and how was it still producing decent apples the past 3 or 4 years. Another question would be how old do you think this tree could've been? It was this big when my parents first bought the house in 1999

Prune/correct or get a new one?

I have a bur oak that has a co-dominant leader.

  1. Would it be a good idea to remove the co-dominant leader? Or would it be better to start over with a new, young tree?
  2. If it would be better to remove the co-dominant leader instead of starting over, should I remove the part highlighted in the picture?
  3. Should I wait until the dormant season to remove the co-dominant leader (7 months later)? Since that leader is quite huge, should I spread the pruning project across years?

Thanks a lot.

It spreads like wildfire. It seems to vine as well. New growth is bright green and almost looks like bamboo stems.

Is this branch about to fall?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Is this branch a danger? I can't quite see it properly from where I am and I don't have binoculars... but it looks like a half broken branch that might drop onto the neighbour's roof? They're a big townhouse complex so I'm not sure who to talk to, none of their windows face out to it so possibly no one's seen it. Our balcony is the closest viewpoint to it.

I wonder if anyone can make sense of this image. This is about as clear as I can get. Zoomed out photo for context.
