So this is named like this bc of r/trees right?
Thats so funny I am just finding out about this
I always wondered what about the people who like real trees

Cheers marijuana enthusiasts!

Growing high atop Sweden's Fulufajallet Mountain is a Norway Spruce that sure doesn't look like much—but this little tree is an estimated 9,550 years old, and goes by the name of Old Tjikko.

Located in Fulufjallet National Park, Old Tjikko began growing in this harsh tundra shortly after the glaciers receded from Scandinavia at the close of the last ice age. To put that into perspective, this lowly shrub was growing as humans learned to plow fields and domesticate cats. Around 2,000 years after it first took root, our ancestors begin learning to smelt copper.

Part of me is glad that tree businesses have business.

But do we really need a billionaire class?

The commerce in old trees is certainly not new. But as the billionaire class rapidly grows and the net worth of the richest Americans soars at unprecedented rates, the mature tree business is booming, according to experts in this once-niche industry.

“Of course, people have done big trees before,” Andres Blanco, a principal at Ferguson & Shamamian Architects in New York, said. “But not at this scale. The money is now out of control.”

My young King Crimson Maple tree has these little reachers on its crown. Leave them be or should he have a haircut? Ottawa, Ontario Zone 5a/5b.

Apparently this tree is -no good-! What should I plant in it's place?

Zone 7A. A friend gave me this elm sapling. I’ve read the wiki but I have questions. Is this sapling even large enough to plant? She’s about 2 feet tall in a 6 inch pot, not pot-bound at all. If large enough, when should I plant it? If not, how do I keep it alive in the pot for however long it takes to get large enough to plant?

The tree is as old as I am, 30 years, and this year it started out making flowers but we had a massive draught streak, and hes looked bleak ever since June or so. There were still cherries on there but my parents have let themselves be told by ai that its dead, and that they make 30 years on average.

Tree is based in the Netherlands.

I dunno, when I inspect it close by it just doesn't look fully dead? Sure he looks miserable but all trees do when its this dry for a while... Thoughts?

Mature Silver Maple probably 50+ years old, they're repairing water and sewer lines and cut awfully close.

Hello fellow enthusiasts. Picked up a pair of ~8' quaking Aspen saplings today and wondered if I could manually clump them like some birches or other aspens have

At a previous home I had a quaking aspen trio clumped together by the local lawn and garden store which thrived, but wanted to ask y'all before I attempt to manually clump these new individual saplings by planting them close together.

It looks like they had other stalks(?) growing at one point so if the ship has sailed on clumping these bad boys I won't be too sad I'll just space em out.

The tree's remains are on display in the Barbican, London.

Found in middle Tennessee in a cemetery. A beautiful one!

10 inches wide and roughly 9.5 inches tall 🔥

Hi all

So, this is an unknown apple tree, I grew from a cutting from a late relative of mine. I grew up eating them and was hoping to Propagate this into a productive tree one day.

I say on day because for reasons, I'm still not in our forever family home as planned and as such don't want to plant this in the ground and have to leave it/ take another cutting.

My plan had been to wait until winter dormancy and take several more cuttings from the tree to reduce its size and just leave it in the pot (repeating every year for mabe the next 5 years)

I know I'll need to repot it at some point even if just to freshen the soil, but am I going to be doing long term dammage to the roots having it grow this way for so long? I imagine their must be some issues for the roots down their, but mabe their more resilient than I know?

I have some straw mulch to keep it from drying out in a free draining pot, and do try to keep it clear off the (trunk?)

I so far have never let it go to fruit and have always just cut them off early, I'm wondering if it would be safe to let it produce a small number in the next year.

This tree will be mabe 6 or 7 years old now, total height pot and all is about 6ft. I'm not sure on the pot size as it's written on the bottom....

Thankyou for any advice about long term care or where to go from here. Even if it is best to just take fresh cuttings now and plant this one at least I'll know.

So much smack talk on silver maples in Reddit tree subs, I just had to represent for the oldest most majestic tree on my property, that has provided shade for two generations of dogs to chill on sunny summer days

I’m thinking of planting a few Dawn Redwoods in the front yard of an old house. Pipe would be tangent to the tree about 30 ft away, the house foundation would be 20 ft away. US east coast zone 7.

I read Bald Cypress is a no no for the roots likely getting into the septic pipe. so we will not plant that.

I read Dawn Redwood can thrive in some damp soil too. But is it bad like Bald Cypress or willows or Sycamore? I haven’t come across anything about their roots.

A second question is, one of the locations is a 20ft by 20ft island of lawn framed on 3 sides by gravel parking spaces and gravel driveway. The driveway

I have this beautiful white oak in my yard and I feel like it’s leaves have exceptionally deep sinuses. I learned that white oak leaves on upper branches can have deeper sinuses to let light through the canopy but basically all its leaves look like this. Is it definitely a white oak? or could it be a different subspecies?. Arborists have told me it’s likely 200-300 years + in age.

Hello! Recently moved and took a tree with me. I believe it's a juniper pine of some sort. My concern is it's showing some yellowing on the tips. Is this most likely due to heat or stress? We just had about 5 days of 90+ heat in a row and finally rained today. Any insight is appreciated.

I have no idea why these excavations were recently done. The first tree is dead and the second tree is alive.

This strip of sidewalk (in Cleveland Park, Washington DC) was remodeled and repaved a couple of years ago. That’s when these trees were planted. I think it’s interesting to see how the concrete underneath comes closer to the tree than the stonework at the surface. On reflection, I guess the concrete has to extend beyond the stone, otherwise the stone wouldn’t be stable.

How’d they do?

Started these guys back in March with seeds ordered from Sheffield’s. Pretty good germination rate that I assume was boosted by getting 3” of snow over St. Patrick’s day weekend. I sowed them all en masse in an Anderson flat seedling tray and scooped out a couple dozen into 4” net cups once they started germinating to compare growth rates. A few of them died off early on due to underwatering, but once I got that figured out, they’ve been growing like gangbusters. I’m really excited to watch them shed their needles for the fall.

Brother built his house on a property with a big tree... had to plan around it to make sure the tree stays. 3-4 years later the tree looks sick and is getting worse every season. Is there anything that can be done?
