    Is this crepe myrtle salvageable (moss covered)?

    Hi all, Been fighting moss on this tree for years now, even have had moss removed a couple of times but that has been a while back.

    Hi! I have a pindo palm in my yard that died awhile back. It has now broken in half and must go. My husband thinks I need to hire someone to remove it that will grind the stump out of the ground.

    Crepe myrtle with recesses at base of trunk

    Hi. I have a 25+ year old HUGE crepe myrtle that has areas around the trunk base that collect water from rain (see pics) They seem to be getting bigger and deeper as time passes. I scoop out as much of the rain water as I can, but it is not easy to keep them free of standing water. Since our...

    Declining Drake Elm

    I have a drake elm, probably around 20 years old, that has been in decline for the past couple of years. This year it looks bad enough that I called a couple of tree specialists to ask their opinion. One, a certified arborist, said it is not salvageable but wasn't sure exactly what was wrong...
