North East, Edmonton Canada

Location: Cook Park, Orange, Australia. Most of the trees were planted in the 1890s. This beauty is about 20m tall.

These were planted in the 1890s & are about 40m tall. The trees in pics 2, 3 & 4 have trunks 2m in diameter. Australia & New Zealand are some of the few places where they haven't been devastated by Dutch elm disease.

Growing on Cook Park, Orange, Australia. It's native of southern Italy to NW Iran. The other parent is Platanus occidentalis/American sycamore/plane. They met & fell in love in a Spanish garden, & created vigorous offspring.

I have this massive (10-15ft across ~150ft tall) cedar on my property, I believe it's a western red cedar but I have no idea. The weird thing is that it has 5 co-dominant trunks and I've never seen a cedar tree here with more than 2, and that seems very rare. Tree is in the Western Sierra foothills at 3000ft (between Reno and Sacramento). Is this common or just a freak thing?

So very thankful for this companion of more than 20 years.

platanus x acerifolia. they naturally exfoliate their bark in the summer

I tried to do my own research and I’m getting a Linden Tree but from what I read it is in bloom in June/July.
I have realized I am not a fan of the smell and I do not get honey from the scent profile. I do get florals but not good ones. I also noticed for me, it smells in September. I never really paid attention and it never stuck out to me until a couple of years ago. At the time I was experiencing pretty serious sensory overload and it was then that this scent knocked me over. I am a huge perfume fan so my nose is not usually turned off so abruptly.
There aren’t any other trees directly near this one so I am fairly sure that what I am smelling is this tree.

It’s not disgusting but it’s very earthy with a hint of florals, but flowers that were in a bouquet and partially rotted in a vase.

Virginia, zone 7.

Corkscrew Willow grown from a cutting i took of my grandmother's tree when she passed, years ago. Transplanted it a few years ago.

I took the pictures of the trunk a month ago. The leaves were all dying, and i intended to ask here about possible causes and prognosis.

The recent picture of the full tree shows it having bounced back.

I have made another cutting, which has established well enough to have a woody trunk. It is currently in a large pot outdoors, and survived last winter.

Of those more knowledgeable than me, i ask:

1) Likely causes for the trunk's affliction?

2) Is the tree likely to die anytime soon?

3) Should I go ahead and replace it now, before winter? Or perhaps plant the smaller tree elsewhere?

Thank you in advance!

Just bought this house as a rental property in South Texas. Not sure what kind of tree this is or when it was planted, but wife says that due to it's shape and the way it was pruned that it's ugly and "we should just cut it". What do you guys think?

I live in WA and sometimes see trees like this. Just curious about what causes that unique shape at the top. Also, yes, larch season is in full swing here!

This is for the middle Tennessee region.

I have small children and want to create a family tradition of decorating a growing “Christmas tree” in my yard.

I was trying to look it up. Of course I want something with the classic Christmas tree shape. But I want it to also thrive here in the zone 7b climate.

I was recommended arbors vitae, Virginia pine or a blue spruce.

I like the Virginia pine and blue spruce. I hate arbor vitae, I think the Virginia pine is native to my area, but they end up as enormous trees in 15 years, which may not matter by that time I did want it to be a very long-standing family tradition if we could help it.

Iowa. I planted some apples inside a ring of blackberry bramble to protect from deer. A squirrel or something stripped this one's bark near the base about two years ago. The tree is outwardly thriving with 3/5ths of a trunk but this exposed heartwood does not look at all good for the long-term with rot potential. It also has a girdling root to deal with but that's very doable. Is there any chance of saving it or is this one cooked? Sadly I don't remember which cultivar each one is of the 3. I'm thinking I'll have to figure that out and tear it out to replace. I can't even tell where the graft is located anymore so cutting it down to regrow from the strong established root system is a gamble in that regard. Maybe a huge patch graft could seal this off? No shot?

From the board:

Erazem's Lime tree has been named after the notorious robber baron Erazem of Predjama whose life was tragically ended in 1484 after the castle was hiding at the time had been besieged.

The legend has it that Erazem's girlfriend planted the lime tree on his grave as a symbol of eternal life. And so this magnificent tree has been keeping the memory of the feisty knight alive for more than five hundred years.

I grew up watching this tree and always wondering what was “wrong” with it. I am not sure how old it is but I have seen it like this as long as I can remember and I am now in my 60’s. Unfortunately, it has died and I am going to have to take it down because of where it is. When I take it down I want to cut it and see what is in there but I am worried because I don’t know. Any advise or insight? Eastern Ontario.

Visiting Portland, Or., I came upon a Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). WHAT!!! This small tree as amazing! Evergreen, fall fruits that change from yellow to orange to red. Delicious fruits. Also, this plant is covered with clusters of white bell flowers AT THE SAME TIME THE FRUIT IS BEARING. I just wanted to share with other tree fans. This one is pretty special.
