II like the square hole idea. What if really soak it and wash all the dirt off? Then try to get the roots un-balled and then quick plant it?

I have a potted White Pine that's about 6' tall and has been in the pot longer than I want to confess to. What should I do to give it the best chance to survive in the ground?

looks like emerald ash borer

I looked up your machine and it mentions a centrifugal clutch is used to protect the engine. Maybe it slipping under load?

My machine has a throw lever that brings the belt tight to start turning the flywheel. It also has a belt adjustment screw to tighten as needed. When adjustment gets maxed out you might need a new belt.

I have a mid 80's Troy Built Tomahawk w/8hp B&S and your problem could be a loose belt. I can usually tell when it doesn't develop that high rpm sound.

Looks and splits like maple.

I think the Merit tree and shrub product took care of my bark beetle problem. But only time will tell. Some of my cedar trees seem to have dropped a lot of green this year. I don't remember seeing so much drop but it may be normal as the remaining green looks good.

I had a DNR forester out today and ,the cedars have a bark beetle, the maple have a maple wilt fungus. The neighbor has a tree service that thinks it can treat and save some of the maples. The county forester said I could treat the beetle with a bayer product for trees and shrubs. First I have...

TY Raintree. I did some reading about that fungus and took some more pictures. I didn't notice the white layer under the bark but there seems to be some dying maples nearby that have that white flag. Some of my almost dead cedars have a blue fungus on the bark higher up? I found a couple other...

I haven't seen many mushrooms around there. The one on the left was first to go and I didn't notice it last year.

8/24/15 The one on the left was the first to go. I thought the tree was killed from the extreme winter or the standing water might have cooked the roots in the hot sun? Wilted, then browned.

I planted about a dozen bare root cedars from soil conservation dist. They were potted for a few years then planted over 5-15 years. this spring was wet with standing water and then drought like start to summer. On top of that was Very Cold winter. The green slowly turns brown, then whole tree...

I lost a ten foot Dawn Redwood a few years ago in northern Mich. It had started the spring with bright green young needles. It looked great and I thought I had done right planting it. Then a hard frost/freeze??? Instant death. I couldn't believe it. It was in the ground for a few years and...

Single trunk They were thin and tall,mostly protected from the wind. I started them in pots around 1990 and planted them about '95. I was planning on cutting them loose next summer?

I have 5 Birch trees that got bent over from a very heavy snowstorm last march. They got bent over too much and it looks like I either cut them down or try to strighten them. They are only 1.5 to 2.5" in dia but 25-35' tall. If I can get them tied up straight, how long will I need to keep them...

It's open between the spark plug wire end and both coil leads. I was afraid to try to pull the plug wire out of the coil. It doesn't look like it should come out?

I need help with an old Eager Beaver Super 16. I can't get it to spark. I tore it down and checked the two leads on the ignition coil with an ohm meter. I was expecting to read near zero or open but it read 184 ohms. Does that mean it's bad? It's a C.D.I. system.Thanks.

I won't tell you how much time and money I wasted or how crazy I got all because of a stopped up spark arrestor!

ash trees dying also I have seen what happens with the borer, but my trees started with the lowest branches dying first. Top canopy getting weeker every year. I think some will die this year because I dont see any buds yet? I think I have a couple of different kinds of ash trees and they don't...
