Have a southern red oak and Ganoderma curtisii fungi growing possible from one of its roots maybe 30 feet from the tree itself. There had been two oaks in the spot where the fungus was found, but those oaks fell in 2011 during a straight line wind storm so I assume it shouldn’t be because of...

Found several Ganodermar curtisii popping up for the first time from some underground roots that lead to my oak tree with the closest one about 20 feet away. There had be an oak tree where the fungus popped up but it fell during straight line winds in 2011, so I wouldn’t guess that the fungus...

Interesting, the maple does not have a very wide crown at all like the 2 others planted at the same time and I cut the sprouting from the base of the tree up the trunk about 3 feet.

I agree, but unable to find it. It is in open, does not have a large crown, very little dieback. So will be seeing it again this coming Thursday,

Anybody have any suggestions?

Oh I agree. , just cannot find the issue. But will be looking at it again next Thursday for the 2nd time

My father has a sugar maple in his yard that is about 12" DBH and 16' tall, very little die back, no noted insects, and good canopy. However, the tree develops water sprouts and epicormic branching on the lower half of the tree, they are cut off each year. We have been having a drought for...

I agree about topping the tree, and informed the customer why. The root system is not compromised and the plan included using crotch pruning as well as pruning. There are some included bark on some codominant stems which I will need to deal with. Thanks. Will consider the 15% thinning in...

A customer is wanting his sycamores topped, they are four boles close together and his concern about the trees is that in the last wind storm the tops moved a lot in the wind and they are concerned that the tree would fall. They asked that the trees be topped 30 feet down from the top (about...

He did contact me after asking him to get a better idea and said that their are healthy needles on the interior then brown needles then healthy new needles. So I'll have to look at it no matter what his description is, take some samples and take home to look at under hand lens.

Yes five years ago. Have not seen the tree in a while, but I believe needle loss. Still they have planted trees to close to concrete driveways, overcrowd plants, have some drainage issues, and all of that will be looked at. I did show them what to look for for HWA. And have had luck with...

Am getting ready to see a friend's hemlock I treated several years ago (5) for HWA and now he wants me to look at the tree due to it turning brown in the interior but with new growth on the ends. Could be anything from natural needle loss to Phytophthora since they have had issues with...

We carry and store our primary saw in boxes that carry the saw, axe, wedges, files, tools, ect. The boxes are getting old and so I'll be rebuilding them. So any ideas on a better way for chainsaw boxes? How to make them stronger to last longer. Any ideas would be helpful.

So my Southern Red Oak tested positive for Xf that causes BLS and a strong chance that a Black Oak next to it has it as well. The Black Oak sample: "The sample repeated again as elevated. Elevated samples are those that test below our positive threshold, but possess an elevated optical...

Well, am a forester in the National Park System, treat HWA and EAB and soon 1000 cankers disease. Worked with a arborist and trained with several different products. Licensed for Forest Health in my state. So I do believe I can treat a tree, besides after looking closer it seems that the...

Was hoping to get some more feedback from you about the best way to inject Arbortect 20S

My understanding is my Black oak will need to come down. The Arbortect 20s sounds good but the expense is much higher then the propiconzole. So your statement implies that Arbortect 20s may save the tree? I have not had much time this morning to look at the chemical. So best place to...

Thanks it was an interesting article about how labs prepare a culture.
