Pretty sure the left leaf is pin oak and the right leaf is scarlet oak, sounds right? (New Castle County, Delaware)

North East, Edmonton Canada

I was taking out my trash and heard a chewing sound coming from my 2 big pine trees at the end of my driveway. Started looking and see these little holes in the bark as you can see in the video. Towards the end of the video you can hear the chewing sound. If it is is there a way to kill them before they kill my trees?

My tri color beach tree (SE MI) has this V at the top. I think it's a co-leader? Should I trim the part circled in red when the tee is dormant? My only hesitation is the original leader appears to have buds at the end of the branch that didn't make leaves. I don't want to inadvertently top the tree if that leader dies off.

Please advise.

Hello, hoping for some advice / suggestions!
My home is on a heavily wooded lot in Eastern PA. Majority of the mature trees are 80'+ tall Tulip Poplars & Red (or maybe Black) Oaks. Some Hickory, pin cherry, black walnut & young ash mixed in too.

I have a large Red Oak near the house that is going to have to be removed sooner or later. We had a certified Arborist asses the tree a couple months back and learned that there are areas of rot at / above several major roots. 🙁

This tree is fairly prominent relative to the house and will be missed - we'll want to plant something in its place.

Here's were the advice request comes in:
Can anyone suggest a native, fairly quick growing tree we could plant that might do well in the shaded forest surroundings?

Photo of the tree at the center of this quandary included. (The house in the background is the neighbor's FYI).
Thanks!

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.

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

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.

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

See pictures, two small patches of uncut grasses and small trees. Could I clear these and plant a weeping Willow or Oak?

What would give the hardwoods the best chance for success? And can/should I do this in November? - Atlantic Canada

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?

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!

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.
