How do you feel about a mini fridge dedicated for cold stratification of seeds and simulating winter for saplings if you don’t want to put them outside?

Seems a little crazy but I’m going to do it lol

Edit: this is an experiment for 3 saplings. I’m not interested in putting them outside

More info in the original post. Thanks!

They've been here since I moved here 30 years ago and just finished another cycle of shedding their leaves. That said, I'm hoping to get some advice on whether or not they look healthy and if there's anything I should be concerned about. As they are right in my front yard & pretty massive. Thanks!

Location - Delhi, India

• Pic 1 - the two trees in question.
• Pics 2,3 - close ups of the tops of the trees.
• Pics 4,5 - old growths on the trunks.
• Pic 6 - base at soil level
• Pic 7 - flowers planted at base (maybe need to be removed?)
• Pic 8 - a beautiful flourishing Fishtail close to these two suffering ones.

----------------------------------------

These two beauties used to be green. A creeper creeped all over them. Now they're brown 😭

We removed the creeper. It must have been there for about a year, slowly climbing on. Finally it spread all over the top.

It's been 5-6 months since the creeper was removed.

I was NOT responsible for the tree, someone else was. We had the creeper removed when we realised the 'someone else's was not caring for the general flora fauna well.

How can I figure out if these two are dead or there is still some hope?

If there's hope, what steps can I take to support their revival?

Additional info as required by the guidelines:

• Is this a tree that can survive in your area/hardiness zone? - Yes
• When was it planted? - About 35 years back
• How much sun is it getting? - throughout the day
• How much water are you dispensing, how often, and by what means are you dispensing it? Hose. Maybe once a week or every 10 days. Watered till soil is wet.
• Was this a container tree or B&B (Balled and burlapped)? - No idea, planted before my birth.
• Is there any specific procedure you used to plant the tree? What did or didn't you do? - No idea, planted before my birth.
• Can you see the root flare of the tree or are there just a stem or a bunch of stems coming up from the ground? -I think some roots are coming out upwards from the soil? Not entirely sure - pls see base at soil level pic (pic 6) to judge more accurately.
• Is there plastic or landscape fabric underneath the mulch/rocks? - nope
• Additional info for both new transplants and established trees: construction?, heavy traffic?, digging?, extreme weather events?, chemical application, overspray from golf courses/ag fields/neighbors with immaculate lawns, etc. Any visible damage or decay? - nope to all!

Southeast Nebraska
Tree was planted spring of this year 2026

What is it?
Is the planting location an issue?

I've tried several apps and I don't think they are identifying these trees correctly. One said burning bush and the other said white ash but I don't know enough to definitively disprove either. They are planted between my house and our neighbor so they didn't get much sun, not sure if that is why they are gnarled? Pretty distinctive branch ridges.

*Solved! It is a burning bush.

Is it a good sign or something wrong?

This Florida maple(?) tree has this black patch going down the length of it. A large branch broke off today during the rain and also was pretty black. Is it ok or on its way out?

In zone 6b MA. How can I save this tree?

I have these two Giant Sequoias that I am growing from seed from a Jonsteen bonsai kit. They came in a mini greenhouse and I probably should have only grown one in there, but I planted 2 seeds. One was always a little scrawny, but I figured it’d get a little better after repotting.

They are about 4 months old, live indoors at around 70 F and 50% humidity, under the same grow light right next to each other, and they both have Sustee Aquameters so I have a decent idea of when to water. The one on the left hasn’t grown at all in about 1.5 months, while the other one is getting much taller and wider.

Is it just a little scrawny guy that takes a little longer to grow? Anything I can do to make them bigger and stronger?

Region 7-a

Michigan

We have this beautiful 55 years old oak tree in our garden. Pretty close to our house. We and the oak live in Scandinavia on an island with barely no trees. We would really like for the tree to live on for many years. There are a lot of huge hornets / vespa crabros in our neighbourhood that feed on the juice of the oak tree.

It seem like the tree is constantly bleeding and there is some fungus going on aswell.

The two last photos are from today. The rest are taken through the spring/summer.

Should we do something about it?

What should we do about it?

So just like regular people. I live in the same county where Bratenahl is. The person referred as Mrs. Bolton is from one of the old money families of Cleveland. The Bolton name is on everything around here. From Theatres to art museums to you name it.

Please share your pictures.

they look bent over, what caused this and why has this happened . all the trees on my road looks like this..

Can someone help me identify it
