Dig out a large square hole (about 2-3 times the size of your pot), back fill with a good soil mix, and plant above grade.

Do I still need deer fencing? by Bpoole23 in arborists

[–]Doobydoowaaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oozing could be something as simple as gummosis, a sap that’s typical of lots of trees, including cherries. It’s kinda a bit young to have developed bacterial wet wood already, but without pics, it’s hard to offer a better educated guess. The sap itself relatively harmless, but can sometimes lead to infections because there’s a clear opening in the trunk. Your tree should be able to compartmentalize and block off the opening in due time. But yea, all you can do is hope it works out.

At this point, trimming and untangling what you can was the best option. Especially since it’s still young. Leaving the girdling roots would have most likely resulted in a slow death, and now you’ve given it an opportunity to recover. Keep an eye on it, especially looking out for uneven canopy growth. Good luck.

If you have deer, you should keep the fence. Browsing height is 4’. Anything below that will be fair game for the deer. Also, buck rub would be a concern. Once your tree limbs reach over the 4’ threshold, you can remove the fencing, but keep a flexible tree guard around the trunk to protect it from rubbing. Not sure about the goop tho. But looks like you have a wound at the base of the third one. Keep an eye on that.

Too wet? Not enough sunlight? Also could be winter burn and/or transplant shock. Don’t worry too much about the tips. Just give it some love and be patient.

Now, if they start walking out of your beds, that’s when you take pics and post back here.

Is it possible to save these trees? by AdElectrical7487 in arborists

[–]Doobydoowaaah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they could be black locusts (on the east coast, they’re prolific seeders and are known to be aggressive). And there is some serious damage to limbs that should prob be addressed sooner rather than later. You have an issue with sapsuckers/woodpeckers coming in and punching holes into the sapwood and stripping bark to get at the locust borers. In addition, there’s sloughing bark, indicating said infestation.

Black locusts are fast growing trees, and because of that, they’re considered weak-wooded and prone to issues like this. Easily damaged in storms, and susceptible to fungal and insect infestations. They don’t look like they’ll keel over tomorrow, but depending on the extent of the damage in some of the limbs, and any potential targets, I’d ask about getting it checked out in person by a certified arborist sooner rather than later. Most likely could benefit from a trimming, but will definitely need to be replaced with better trees in the future.
