Right now, I'm pretty amateur at identifying different types of trees and as it is Early Spring here in Northern Michigan, it is hard to identify tree types by their leaves, because there are none.. So I resort to identifying trees by their bark. From what I've seen - to me, this looks like some...

Tree by nawlins posted Mar 12, 2019 at 1:55 PMI recently bought a house in New Orleans, LA where the back yard slopes down to a mature oak tree. When it rains (which it does here a lot) it creates a mini lake around the base of the tree (see photo). It usually takes 4-5 days for the water to...

Forgive me for being totally clueless, but does this tree look sick? We have lived here a few years now and each year pine needles fall to the ground. I have never noticed how the tree progresses into winter but I recently read pines are supposed to be evergreen. Again, I have no knowledge of...

I have finally joined Arboristsite.com!!! I am looking for some information on identifying this eucalyptus tree that is common in California. I know it’s not a blue gum, or a red ironbark. I think it is a grey ironbark, but I am not certain. Can anyone help me identify this tree?

I have inherited a badly diseased tree in the last month. I'm looking to identify the issues and cure the disease. If the disease is not curable I will be taking the tree down myself with rigging equipment. Pictures: (Tree and branches) http://s216.photobucket.com/user/lalabby/slideshow/tree...

Just started working on chainsaws and at first glance they look similar but started to do a rebuild and it's not the case. Different coil and cylinder to start so I thought I would try to find out what parts are interchangeable between the two. Like I said this is only my fifth rebuild so I...

The elm in my backyard is having it's leaves get splotchy brown patches and there is a spot on the trunk that is always wet with brown goopy stuff running down. At the top of the wet area there is a hole that has small worms in it. I'm not sure if the worms are there because of it or the cause...

I got myself into a sticky situation. I can't recommend anyone use this technique but it worked for me. BTW I know, I know, no safety equipment....

I attached a few pictures for reference, but the bark on the lower trunk is starting to rot and separate/fall off. There seems to be a dark stain behind part of the section that is coming off and also a small section of the wood (left side of dark spot) is starting to rot some on the surface...

Anyone have experience with municipal street tree surrounds like the porous flexible material or wane 3000? I can't really find anything about the wane, but it looks like it might actually help with sidewalk root lifting. Any advice is appreciated.
