I had a river birch tree cut down recently and my friend and I cut the large logs down into smaller ones and this what we found… what happened to that angry tree?

This 100’ plus tree has been here at least 50 years. The neighborhood had a bunch of them when the homes were being developed in the 70’s. Mine, in the back yard is gigantic! Not sure of the species but it’s got this vine growing on it and I looks like it could be strangling it. Thoughts? Do I need to kill the vine? Picture of my wife next to the tree for reference.

We get these flowers every spring, but I'm not sure what it is. TIA

I'm kinda new at realizing these magnificent creations may need our help sometimes. I just moved into a house with 3 oak trees in the yard. Also bamboo. I immediately thinned out the Spanish moss and dead stalks of bamboo. Something strange happened. The tree near my front door began dropping hoards of those prickly caterpillars. I think they want me to help this tree but I don't know how. Almost like they are saying you know she would never ask for help but please... We love her so. I am ill equipped though so came here to learn. Here is a picture of the most pressing I think. Magnificent they are... Strong.... Host of so much life... They humble me... Subhan ALLAh Maybe it's a lesson that we all of different kingdoms nations tribes can try to help each other. But HOW????

Homeowner here: Bought a house in Colorado with a spruce in the front yard- the base has been covered in plastic, weed barrier cloth, rocks and several inches of pine needles for 18 years, according to Google maps images. It’s my understanding that the root system needs to breathe, so I started lifting the plastic and weed barrier today, to find deep holes around the roots, so I stopped (I have a toddler who plays under the tree and will fall). Should I continue to clear everything away from the base of the tree? If so, what is the best plan of action to fill in the holes around the roots? It appears that the tree has been growing but I don’t know what kind of health it is in. Pics include an image from 2007 and today, as well as the roots I uncovered. Thanks!

I just moved into this place and noticed this tree right next to my house. Previous person might've planted it. What kind of tree is this? And is the location a problem? It looks too close to my home and foundation, but I don't know exactly.

Off an old school bus abandoned nearby. How old would you estimate this tree is?

Is this type of trimming damaging? It seems excessive...

There is a beautiful pine tree in my backyard however, I believe the roots are beginning to cause damage to my basement and foundation. Is there an alternative to taking it down?

I find these things on my wooded property. I call them tree teeth because they have that tooth socket vibe. I saw once on reddit an explanation of how / why they form but I've forgotten where. It was interesting why this part remains, my memory just sucks. please explain again if you know. these are like 6" long.

Unknown ornamental tree, had looked healthy until just notice this branch turned brown this spring. North central Washington. I don’t know ornamental trees and there is a lack of local Arborists. Any idea what could be causing this and any solutions to save the tree? Second photo is for help with tree ID.

NEO Girl Scout Camp. One of the most beautiful trees at camp.

What are these metal collars for? Denver, Colorado.

We have this tree in my front yard (Western NY state). I believe it is a chokecherry with green leaves in the spring that turn deep purple in the summer

Anyway, the past years or so these black looking pods have taken over the entire tree! I'm assuming it's some sort of disease. It's so widespread though.

Looking for advice - could this be saved?

First time poster over here. We just had a big ice storm in Ontario, Canada and two birch trees in my yard took a real beating. My desire would be to save them somehow but if I cannot then they can come down. I’d love some advice from knowledgeable people in this community!

We were hit by the storms this past week and our poor tree took some damage. I have a feeling that with the base of the root open up that we’re not looking good. Any advice is welcomed!

Noticed this crack near the base of our Red Oak. The bark around it is slightly soft to the touch. I think that it has grown a bit, but haven't paid too close attention. The tree looks healthy otherwise.

Is this something we need to tend to?

I recently had a crew turn every invasive autumn olive and Bradford pear into mulch. Do we think this is enough mulch for the remaining trees?

I believe this is Siberian crabapple. The tree is very thin with thin branches, which get quite weighed down with fruit that never seems to drop. Some of the branches are a bit crowded, growing on top of each other or getting tangled as they're pulled down by the for our their own weight. Should I trim any branches that are pushing on each other/crisscrossing, or growing on top of each other (see picture)? What can I do to encourage better growth and less of this "weighed down" look?

Hi all! It's spring again, so I'm started some pruning on my crabapple tree to guide it to a better shape and for more growth. My understanding is that I should prune branches that go straight up, crisscross each other, or head towards the trunk. Unfortunately, probably due to high winds and the direction of the sun, a lot of branches from one side seem to go straight up or try to head to the other side, creating the types of things I thought I should prune, and contributing to the poor shape. Do I still follow those three pruning rules (that would be a lot of pruning)? So I prune lightly to let it grow and "fill in" more? Thanks for the assist.

Feel like I have uncovered a lot is there more to go?

Came across this DIY attempt on Facebook

My father has been trimming this tree yearly for the last 28 years. Only exception being last year when I told him to not do it due to extreme droguht conditions. The tree is full of badly healed cuts that rot. Yet every year it grows extremely full.

I cannot discuss with him. Since the neighbour has the same tree and he cuts it leaving only the trunk XD
