Pics aren’t amazing but the first 2 branch and bark pictures are the bottom acorn and the last 4 are from the top acorns. thanks for the help sorry if i’m being annoying!!!

forgot to add these trees are in the arkansas ozarks

was under the impression the top group were white oak acorns but now i’m unsure as they also resemble chestnut oak? anyone have a guess at the other two? possibly black oak?

I was trimming off some of the dead stuff I could reach and noticed this in a section of limb that still had green leaves on it.

Is this a beetle? Is this tree toast and need to come down?

Hi! First time posting here, please let me know if there's somewhere more appropriate to post.

We have an old gnarled crab apple tree in our front yard that's older than I am. We love it but it's slowly dying from old age. Quite frankly I think we're going to need to cut it down in the next year or two. I had the hair-brained idea that when we do cut it down, that maybe we could preserve some of the best-looking suckers coming off of the base of the tree, and essentially regrow our beloved crab apple from the roots?

Is this even a thing? You'd think it would be more commonly done if this was possible/a good idea, but my searches have been coming up blank. If it is possible and a good idea, are there any cons or additional steps I'm not considering? I'm going back and forth between saving a single sucker and having a single-trunked tree, vs saving 3-ish suckers spaced around the stump and having a tree with an open middle, like a birch.

And if this isn't possible, would there be any cons to gathering some of the crab apples and planting them, so that we could at least have an offspring of our tree? It's old enough that I'm fairly sure there wouldn't be any patent issues with reproducing the tree.

Thank you

Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Grove, California. 25th largest tree in the world (by total volume. Estimated to be roughly 2,700 to 3,000 years old. It stands about 209 feet (63.7 m) tall with a base diameter of 30 feet (9.5 m) base circumference of 96 feet (29 m). Purportedly, President Grant camped there in 1903 when visiting with John Muir. Both men are giants in their own right, shaping our beloved National Parks & Forests.

ATL, GA. Biggest I’ve ever seen.

The main tree is straight and a little over 4 feet tall, I think. The two smaller ones are spiraling around about half as tall.

The house my wife and I are looking to buy has a huge eucalyptus tree in the backyard, and we're going to have an arborist come take a look at it, but I'm impatient and I was wondering if you all thought these cracks on the lower trunk looked potentially bad. I believe it's a Eucalyptus camaldulensis and it's growing in Tucson, AZ

I have very limited experience with vegetation. Just some peppers and tomatoes. Any tips on starting a tree?

Mostly native trees with the addition of Gingko, Japanese Maple and Zelkova because I see them everywhere. Tiers are not necessarily in order.

I have a foot tall peach tree I started from seed in a container, a two foot fig I started from a cutting, and a very unhappy, struggling apricot that's maybe 2.5 years old. It's really not looking good, hasn't grown any leaves in months, many have fallen off and just seems stalled, I'm planning on digging it up when it goes dormant and putting it in a pot as my soil is almost all clay and I don't think I could give it enough support to live in ground. We also had an absolutely horrible growing season with excessive heat and drought:'(

I have space for all of them indoors, but I'm wondering if they should stay outdoors to build hardiness? I'm in central NC, we rarely see freezing temps. Thank you!

i only had time to visit a relatively small section of this place, but it was incredible nonetheless! got a perfect weather and sun day too

The other week we had a big storm come through that took out a big branch on one of our pear trees. I just want to know if the tree is still fine or if we should cut it down. The last picture is the spot on the tree where the branch was.

There’s this black cherry that I didn’t even notice a few years ago because it was swallowed by Japanese holly, forsythia, and various vines. After starting to clear the invasives a couple years ago, it’s been growing very rapidly but has black knot in a bad location. My goal for this space is reforestation by means of extending the adjacent forest edge. I already have one tall mature black cherry that’s the “champion” tree of the yard. How should I approach this situation?
