Doon't know what that is? It's trees. I know tree care problems and maintenance.

What's the exam like? Hoping to write it this year.

Are prevailing winds really that important to take into consideration when planting?

It was pretty tough actually. At first I thought it was like being handed a dictionary and they said 20 percent is on R and 8 percent on L. But it is manageable. Doo not over think and read clearly

Which tree do you hate the most?

What is your favorite kind of tree and why is it live oak?

You bastard baby killer

Any preferred study guide? What did you do to prepare?

It can be, trees can adapt to the strongest of winds. If you plant one young I can recommend that you stake it for the first year but remove it after the first season. Wind produces taper and strengthen the tree

Dude, Bardford Pears or Pyrus calleryana. Fucking things smell like cum

Cool, thanks

It isn't a live oak. My favorite tree is Green Ash, they are the first to get green leaves where I live and I like the buds

The website has classes you can buy for 30 dollars a piece. They have a few that are free. I highly recommend those since the questions are taken from the exam. the exam is divided into 12 categories.

Yeah not a problem. Staked trees grow tall but they are weaker. You will have a shorter tree but a strong trunk

I have two fully mature honey locust trees appx 50 years old with a fair amount of dead wood up in the canopy, but overall the trees look pretty healthy. What maintenance should I have done? Just trimming or are they dying?

So do trees come from seeds or just from saplings and shit like that?

Amazing thank you!

You ever fucked a tree?

Honey locust are pretty ratty trees. They are notorious for dead and dying branches. The tree may not be dying but if the branches are at risk of damaging property or hurting someone remove them. Where is the tree planted?

Is that related to Arizona Ash? Those are trash trees.

Bradfords make tiny inedible pears. But sprin is glorious.

Trees come from seeds. Saplings are just germinated

No

They are about at the midpoint between my house and barn, maybe 30 to 40 feet from either building to the trunks.

Thank you for the clarification

Favorite tree?

Please enlighten me on straightening out my Apple tree. Approximately 7 feet tall. How much tension is too much if I tie it back against the way it's leaning?

No, ash is in the family Faxinus, pear is Pyrus.

doug fir is best fir

They should be fine. As long as no damage has been done to the root system.

7 feet tall huh? How wide is the truck and the age of the tree? Is the soil around the roots uplifting?

Best way to get rid of bag worms from a fir tree?

I like Faxinus pennsylvanica or Green Ash.

Plants inside my parents house keep getting a weird mould on them and dying. We don't know how to stop them from dying or protect them to prevent it from happening.

What would you say are the best growing conditions for an Albizia julibrissin seedling and conditions for an adult tree?

With Dutch elm, emerald Ash borer and thousand canker all going crazy in the wild, will we have any hardwood trees left?

This can be tough. Bag worms are mostly active in May and June you can spray your tree with insecticide. once they form a bag, cut them out of the tree and burn them.

Size of a pop can at the base maybe. I would guess the tree to have been planted about 6 years ago as a sappling from a greenhouse. No root lift and a very healthy tree just leans heavy to one side. Maybe 3 feet from top to bottom.

This can be done doo to over watering. Plants doo not have to have a set watering schedule, water when dry and only when dry. If the mold continues, wash the leaves with a minor soapy mixture but rinse the leaves clear of the soap and tr not to contaminate the soil. Btw, a good indicater that the plant needs water is by sticking your finger in the soil if it is cold and sticks to your finger down to the first knuckle then the plant is fine. Also, give it more sun. Mold hates sun

This is a huge problem. And there are more and more pest introduced every year. The newest is the spotted lantern fly. That can eat grapes and apples and all sorts of other things. Most states and federal governments take action to quarantine these pest. But some times depending on the beetle or disease it dooesnt always work

Fucking capcha are slowing me down

What's the hardest wood you have cummed across

This is unsightly I take it and not a problem with the tree? The tree may have adapted to the wind or may be reaching for sunlight.

Somewhat unsightly but seems to get worse every year but your right, it's probably reaching for late day sun where it's planted. Just don't want it to get bad to the point of losing it. I love that damned tree OP.

Oh, I love mimosa. where are you trying to grow it? There are species that can take a bit of cold but warmer climates are best. You can find them in NJ and parts of Long Island but I doon't see many further in for the shore line. But that is just me. I think zone 6-9

How bad was that emerald ash bore thing from all those years ago? Are they still fucking things up, or are they back to their normal state

So I was watching Justified. It's supposed to be set in Kentucky but all the "holler" scenes are full of Coast Live Oaks. WTF? You think there could be Quercus agrifolia in Kentucky?

You could try and move it. That would be a big root ball but, you can replant it straighter in more sun. Then mound the soil around the base of the tree. Like a little hill, but doo not cover the trunk flair at the base of the tree

That is hard to answer. I used to work on the Asian Longhorn beetle program and I have worked a bit with the Emerald Ash, the huge difference between the two, an ALB is considered lazy it will fly two miles and you can shake them out of trees. Emerald Ash can fly 20 miles a day and are quick like flies.

Thanks OP I may give it a shot when the ground thaws out.

HAHAHAHAHAH! I have no idea man. Never saw the show. That cracked me up though, I'll look into that

Um, mahogany?
