Thanks. Pics won't do much good until it leaves out. It's really unremarkable except that each year (for the past 3) more and more upper branches fail to bear leaves - usually big branches and they seem to die all the way back to the trunk. Regarding Silvers, in my younger years I used to...

Thanks for the responses Nothing has changed, except I allowed a walnut to grow nearby about 10 years ago. The crimson is mature and is maybe 30 inches DBH. Another crinson of similar age is unaffected and stands 80 feet away from the Walnut. If its root girdle, it's too late to do...

I don't think there is anything you can do. It sometimes kills a sapling or stunts it's growth and it recovers - but is set back a number of years. If it's an important tree to your landscape, you should plan on replacing it - maybe in the fall so you can assess how it's doing over the...

I have a 30 yrear old king crimson that is starting to die out at the crown that is coinident with havint a walnit of 8 years grow 20 feet away. Could it be juglone poisoning? I know silvers aren't tolerant, but sugars and reds are. I couldn't find any info on the web.

Magpies When I was younger, A farmer walked up to me and pleaded that I don't shoot the wildlife. I told him the gun in my hand was only for magpies, to which he replied - Forget what I just said, get as many as you can. I though I was going to be kicked off his land, and instead I received...

THe cylinder looks like a Maytag Hit and Miss

Do a search on root girdle - there's alot of info. Root girdled trees fail to thrive and can die slowly (>10 yrs). If it happens you will kick yourself as it can be avoided in most cases. It's similar to 'root bound' in indoors plants, except the tree slowly chokes itself and doesn't send...

If it's a silver I would guess it's about 30 yrs old. Also from the pic it appears that it had black sealer on it in the past. If it were mine I would plant another young tree with the expectation that your silver could be gone in 10 yrs time - but you have to plan carefully as space appears...

I agree that it is not a young autumn blaze, and it does look to be an ash. I have clay soil and have to go to extraordinary lengths to keep from having root girdle - especially with container trees whose roots are starting to circle already. In order to avoid root girdle, I have found...

Yabut many items they sell for cheap are rebadged and sold for more elsewhere. Some of their stuff is good enough not questinos (plum bobs for example) other stuff is good like certain small tools that get lost all the time But yeah some stuff you don't want even for free.

The total outlet size (new and old hole) should be 80-85% of the exhaust port outlet.

Look on the bright side. Old Zach could have taken your money and sold it to sombody else.

Absolutely post up that pic- especially if you have if in the kitchen sink

Nice Ash

I use a 24 on my 372 - I think that is a good max length for the saw. Any longer and the thing would be nose heavy

Rust: eagle 1 mag etching cleaner. It's acidic and has a bit of HF in it. Spray on, wash off 30 seconds later. Available @ auto stores. or submerse in 25%white vinigar/water overnight. Works like a charm on traps.

Remove as much of the punky dead wood - to help it close over - while taking care not to touch live wood or bark. I can't give you advice on insecticides, other than I wouldn't bother. Also I would ignore the posters making snarky remarks.

I tached my saws that I tuned by ear as you described. I found them to be really close - except for one that is rev limited, so I just run it rich
