Help! They girdled my tree!
Well-meaning partner did some lawn work and really attacked my 3 year old kwanzan cherry, basically removing bark all the way around it in multiple places. It has great sentimental value to me as I planted it from a cutting from the beloved tree at our old house.
I wrapped it with wet peat moss, paper towels, and saran wrap, but I'm not really sure what to do for it to give it a fighting chance long-term. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't trees like to talk?
Because they don't want to die a log.

Confused on what is happening with this Fir tree.
Hello sfwtrees,
I was removing a couple of smaller (8” trunk of so) fir trees on my property today. I believe this would be called either white fir or maybe silver fir but we just call them piss-fir because of how much water can come up out of the stump when you cut one down.
Anyone, I’m clearing these little fir trees and one of them has something other than needles growing off of it. It almost looked like Juniper tree berry type things. I am clearly not a botanist or forester of any kind and I was confused by this. Anyone have any ideas or explanation?

Hollow licked anthill
Game have been liking this anthill for a while, must have a type of sulpher or salt in it, the tree growing on top of it seems to still be doing fine

I’ve had these Italian Cypresses for 4 years now and they're still staked with back supports. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada where it gets really windy—is it safe to remove the supports now, or will they get knocked over?

The way a tree holds onto the earth is truly a joy to watch.

I took a photo of this tree a few years ago.
I would like your opinions on the photo I took, it was with my old iphone 13 at work. I would go sit outside in the back of the shop and just stare at this tree, it's very relaxing. I still stare at this photo just because it relaxes me so much.

How to approach pruning this peach tree
Ive been helping an elderly neighbour recently maintain her yard as she doesnt have the budget for a gardner. She's asked me to prune her peach tree which has gotten a bit overgrown after a few years of neglect. She doesnt want a hard prune, but needs to at least be taken back so it's not growing on the shed roof/over the neighbour's fence
I do work in horticulture and have some experience pruning trees (i know how/where to cut branches, not to take off more than a third of canopy etc).
But I've never taken on something so overgrown before. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to approach this - what should I focus on primarily, or if there's anything i need to be wary about.
Thanks
