I noticed this while walking my dogs in the bush today, I find it incredible that this has happened. Is this sort of thing common?

A couple of oak seedlings, coming along nicely. Every year I plant a few acorns, and transplant them into wild areas the following fall.

Hello - this tree was cut down winter 2024/5 in a wood where I go running in the UK. I’m intrigued about the sudden change in colour between the inner and outer wood. I first thought it could be change in air quality but I don’t think this area would have been very polluted, but knowing nothing about trees I’m hoping you can help!

I’ve heard of Crepe Murder but never American elm murder.

I've discovered a hole underneath the bark of my alder tree. Theres this sawdust coming out of it (or maybe some insect put it there). Im not sure if its getting bigger but i can stick my finger underneath the bark there. The insect in the fourth pic crawled out of there. Location: Switzerland

Is this an issue? Whats your advice?

When we bought our home 4 years ago, this large tree along our driveway was being overrun by wild grape vine. I'd had an arborist come out to look at all our trees and do some trimming, and he told me to cut the vines as high as we could, let them die on the tree, and work on pulling the roots. The vines are all dead, but the tree is looking pretty rough. I now also see the woodpeckers and flickers have been going at the trunk. I left messages with a couple local arborists to try to get someone to come take a look, but I'm not getting anyone to respond. Is this tree doomed? Is there anything we could/should be doing to help it recover, or slow down decline? 😭

US zone 8a. There was originally a giant oak, but it came down during hurricane Helene. I have been racking my brain trying to decide what to plant here (sans rock, they will be gone soon)

I’m looking for opinions on what everyone would personally plant if it was their driveway and why.
I’ve considered everything from large fruit tree or several small ones to a large evergreen or nut tree.

My only personal requirement is that it be beneficial in someway. Either food for ourselves or food for wild life. The line is just a cable line and seems unaffected by other trees that touch it (line guys confirmed it’s safe) the tree behind it is a pecan tree that unfortunately has to come down.
I’d love to know what everyone would do! I know I can plant “whatever I want” but I’m just so indecisive.

hi there !! my parents just moved into this house that has been vacant for 2+ years. they don't know what kind of tree this is but it definitely has not been taken care of for a very long time. is there any chance it can be revived? i've attached some pictures of the base at the soil line (or as low as i can get because there are some very tall grass around it), pieces of the outer layer of bark that have come off, the whole tree, and a close up of the inner bark parts. most of the outer layer of bark is intact, except for the part i've shown in pictures. this tree is located in southern ontario, canada. we have not tried anything so far to revive it as a neighbour said it probably won't be revived but my mom wants to try before my dad cuts it down. any advice would be much appreciated !!

It leans slightly, which bothers me, and I’d get professional advice before doing anything!
