    What is this bug?

    Noticed a bunch of these on a birch last fall. Have not seen them before or since, but wondering what they are and if there’s anything I should do to prevent them from returning if they are harmful.

    Not sure what’s wrong with my poplar

    Last year, one branch did not produce leaves. I attributed it to a late freeze we had in the spring. This year, the top two thirds of the tree look mostly dead. The branch that was barren last year is now losing its bark. Most people I’ve called only do removals, but I’m not quite ready to...

    Taking down a willow

    I need to take down this willow, but I don't feel comfortable felling it as is. The trunk is 40" in diameter. There are four main limbs that split out from the trunk at about 6' from the ground. The canopy is a lot wider than what you can see in this photo. My saw is 18". I'd have to rent...

    Small leaf linden barely growing

    I have a linden (Tilia Europea) that has barely grown two feet or so in six years. When I planted it, the trunk was either 2" or 2.5". Now it is 3.25". The crown has filled in nicely, and it's actually a good looking, symmetrical tree. It's just not growing at the rate I expected. Last...

    Bartlett Pear Tree and Pollination

    I would like to plant a Bartlett pear tree, but do not have space for another for pollination. This would go next to a Callery pear. I think they bloom at the same time, but I don't know if they can cross-pollinate since the Callery does not have edible fruit. Will I get fruit from the...

    Orange Spots on Apple Leaves

    This is a Gala apple tree. Do you know: 1) what these spots are (maybe one of the rust diseases?)? 2) how I can treat it? 3) how can I prevent future contamination? Thank you.

    Bark damage on young apple tree

    Hi, all: First off, thank you for providing this resource. A rabbit ate the bark near the base of my young Gala apple on a few spots. The damage is not circular, thankfully, but vertical; no more than 4" in height. I can't really get bark anywhere else to graft because the branches are...
