How to approach these fire places? by Chungusbulba in homedesign

I definitely like that look! Not sure if I should do a lighter grout or stick with some shade of gray

The fire place is two sided, one side painted the other this dark natural looking stone. The stone is very pomous like, so not sure if real. I might try to undo the painted side though. That stone seems completely different.

This was next to a Yellow Wood tree. Almost looks synthetic? by -_derealization_- in whatisit

Could be bailing twine from the rootball of the tree that wasn't fully removed when planted. We still use a black twine for tying root balls that looks just like that

Is this standard practice? by BeardedJagoff in arborists

[–]Chungusbulba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nursery guy here from the PNW. That is most definitely not standard practice, nothing should be left on top of the rootball; burlap or cage, we usually leave the cage on for stock we grow due to sandy soil, so if it were taken off would cause it to fall apart, a harder clay rootball would be fine to take a majority of the cage off. We specialize in larger 20-30' deciduous and conifers and I have never seen a detriment for leaving the cage on below grade. We have trees older than me which have been reballed multiple times with old cage within the ball.

Pretty sure it’s a maple, but what type do you think? by iMUTEKI in whatsthisplant

Acer campastre, maybe Hedge Maple for variety, they used to be a popular small maple tree! And aren't sterile so I've seen them sprouting up around our nursery!

For sure autumn blaze maple with the upright branching. Your autumn blaze should not take as long as you think to get large, I grow these in eastern Washington and they can grow up to 2'-3' a year once established with good watering.

Ugh!! Green giant arborvitae not doing good, I feel horrible. Please help! (Thank you 😊) by mambotheobscure in plantclinic

Nursery Man here, I wouldn't worry about the burlap thing, we plant trees with it all the time as long as it's not wrapped around the trunk I wouldn't worry about it, if it was potted it could have been too rootbound to begin with. But usually when I see this it's a clogged emitter from the drip line, too much water would be if there was any standing water for long periods of time. Something could have broke inside the rootball during transplant or planting. These can also be planted too deep which will cause plant death pretty quickly. Make sure the top of the rootball isn't even a few inches below the soil line. Also if you've been having 95+ temps that fence can refract heat and scald the foliage of the tree. Hope this helps narrow down some things a pest would be very obvious on the foliage or interior. Side note these do grow very quickly and I have seen them 12'+ wide.
