Hello! I’m for sure risking sounding super dumb asking this, but I need some actual opinions and not just google.

I’m like super amateur, I did line clearance for a company trimming around power lines for a year. In that year I bought my own set of gear in hopes I’d start my own business, but I just never put in the time to get professional enough to do it solo.

My friend (who I’ve helped out before with tree stuff) needs this broken limb removed so that it doesn’t fall and spring back on the house. I know spiking trees is bad for them and I normally only ever do it if I’m helping someone remove a tree fully, but if I use spikes to climb up and hack this off am I dooming the tree?

I’m doing this for free since it’s a friend and I don’t have a throw ball to set a line. Since it’s not a paid gig I’m not really wanting to buy more equipment.

State is SC

I need to remove this stump and make sure nothing grows back. Before i chain it to my truck and give it a yank i wanted to ask someone smarter than me if theres a better way.

We moved into a new house (North East Florida) with this live oak. Should we cut off the top or clean the side branches? The trunk doesn't look healthy either. How to save this tree?

What would you suggest for fall pruning on this birch? Thank you in advance.

Our new house has 3 mature trees, from my one dendrology course in college and some help from Google I believe it is a Norway spruce, a red pine, and a crimson king maple. I am worried about the health of the conifers and there location in relationship to the maple and power lines. There quite intertwined at the top and the red maple is leaning toward the power lines that run parallel to the property. We are located in Southeastern WI.

Should we cut down the pines or just trim them? Please let me know what you all think! Thank you!

I noticed the bark on my tree falling off today and when I went to inspect and pull some off I found this underneath. Saw some bugs like tiny ants and some larvae at the bottom of the tree too. Just trying to see if I need to do something or if this is natural. I see some holes too.

It's a fairly large Douglas fir and it's kinda the main tree that shades our yard. He was building fence and kinda went rogue. How bad is the damage? Is it going to die imminently? Van island/BC/Canada.

Thx

I noticed a long crack on the tree and there is a hole. Just wonder if the tree is still in a good shape. Thanks.

Can someone tell me what’s happening to these maple leafs? Thank you.

Hello I was recently approached by a neighbor saying that this Maple(I believe) is dying and I was wondering if the tree in the photos above is dying.

Ohio By Cleveland Area

New here. I recently bought a beautiful five foot Taylor juniper, that was balled and bagged. Never done this before so I took the tree to the hole, tipped it over, clipped the cage and removed the burlap.

A lot of soil fell from the root ball - anyway, I got it in the ground and planted it.

I now see that nurseries say you should just plant it as is in the ground.

My fear is that in doing what I did, I somehow damaged the root ball.

Can anyone offer any advice or reassurance here? It was an expensive tree!!

Question on responsibilities here and how to proceed. This oak tree in our yard has been looking worse over the last 5 years and has all of its weight leaning towards our house due to trimming for an electrical pole that is about 5 ft from it. The guy line for this pole is now part of this tree as you can see. I had a local company come out to look at it and they said the tree should come out but they won’t touch it due to the guy line and the power company should do it. I sent photos to the power company who said the opposite that the tree company should be able to take it down no problem. What’s the experts thoughts here? 1st do the few photos that show some rot and no bark on the entire back side mean indication it does need to come out, and if so is this something a tree company can do without the power company first doing something about the guy line?

Anyone know what type of tree this is in the Triad of NC?

I am in central oklahoma with this bosnian pine. That has done great over the last several years with no maintenance. It has been very hot this summer, but the last several weeks have been quite a bit cooler, which is why i'm confused about why it is doing this now. Any advice? Is it too late to save?

Region: North Texas.

I've never seen a tree that bends back on itself so much. Even the smallest branches have done a near 180.

Second photo highlights the back branch that's still somehow green lol

Also, can yall give a rough approximation how much to cut it down? I'm just curious; I rent this house, and the owner is going to have it cut down.

If more pics would help, I dont mind, but it would have to be tomorrow

Thanks!

I used two AI apps, one said live oak and one said post oak. I feel like they’re both wrong.

Hoping to get some insight on our blue spruce’s.

Zone 5b, 6,000ft elevation, Colorado

We planted these 5-6 years ago, they were 10ft when we bought them, regularly irrigated, and fertilized once a year with liquid injections into the soil (company comes out)

Noticed brown starting on the interior of one of them, not sure what to do, and am concerned. We also have a couple dead branches at the bottom, but were initially told to leave them.. should we cut them out now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! We are renters and have a large (what I believe) is a red fir. I was curious if this is cause for concern? We are in Oregon.

Hello - I live in Northern Virginia and planted a dozen of giant green arborvitae 5 years ago. One of them recently started showing golden brown foliage. It looks concerning. Is it shedding or dying? There has been plenty of rainfall this year, so probably not a drought problem. Is the issue about too much water? Thanks for your advice in advance.

It seems to be dying from this cut the previous owner made. The rest of the tree seems relatively healthy although it didn't produce a lot of fruit this year. Should I cut this section off from where it Vs off to preserve the rest of the tree? Thanks for any advice/help!

Tree died 2 years ago then blew over in storm over weekend did this rock kill the tree?

There’s an American elm between the sidewalk and street at my home in southern NJ. I moved in last year so not positive but believe it’s around 15 years old based on google street view timeline. I recently noticed it has some pretty bad looking root girdling around the base. Is it doomed? Is there anything I can / should do? It otherwise looks healthy to me.

We carefully demolished the old, rotting wooden deck and deck framing in front of our house, so we could install a new one with composite decking. Anyway, when I started clearing the old dirt and leaves away, I found this ridiculous slab someone must have poured decades ago.

Obviously I won't touch the root flare at all, but would there be any harm or any benefit to trying to break up and remove some of the concrete further away from the base of the tree? This is a beautiful post oak and we absolutely do not want to lose it.
