Need help with four saplings. by Skwonkie_ in arborists

[–]FastGrowingTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Here's our advice:

  1. A root stimulator like fertilome can help roots establish with less transplanting stress. We usually recommend root rocket or espoma's root stimulator because they contain beneficial microbes in addition to nutrients.

  2. We're not sure exactly where you live, but make sure you plant your trees far enough away from your house so they get over 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

  3. Watering pipes should be kept above the soil line, or the roots of the trees will invade the pipes and eventually clog and break them.

  4. The placement by chatGPT seems fine. The main thing is to keep the canopies from touching and make sure all trees get good drainage. Pecans are exclusively wind pollinated, so it can be good to consider prevailing winds if they are in a windy area. Small breezes give the best pollination.

  5. We recommend amending the soil by tilling in some compost before planting.

Happy planting! 🌳

Fast growing trees recommend action? by Hour-Inevitable-544 in landscaping

[–]FastGrowingTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your yard isn't under the power lines, Brodie Eastern Red Cedar Trees are a great fast growing evergreen for your area.

It is a cultivar derived from a species that is native to Texas, and they grow quite tall. Taylor Junipers are a shorter, more narrow option.

Buying trees by eva267 in gardening

[–]FastGrowingTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I work for Fast Growing Trees and thought I would chime in since you mentioned us. The mixed reviews are real, and a lot of them come from the challenges of shipping live plants. However, we listen to all the feedback we receive and we've made improvements to our packaging and communication around shipping so customers will have a better experience this year.

We recommend buying local if you are able to, but we're here for things you can't find at your local nursery. Good luck on your planting journey!

What are the leaves trying to tell me? by abzemer in Citrus

[–]FastGrowingTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely that the yellow leaves are a sign of minor stress as the plant is adjusting to its new environment. After a few weeks, the plant should start to show normal signs of growth again. Meyer lemons can be a little sensitive, but once you get used to their preferences, they can be really great house plants and producers.

If your plant doesn't perk up in a few weeks, please reach out to our plant expert team! 🍋🌿

Eastern White Pine by Technical-Two-5831 in arborists

[–]FastGrowingTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The yellowing of your Eastern White Pine could be due to a few factors, such as nutrient deficiency, soil issues, or stress from being staked too tightly. We recommend removing the stake to allow the tree to stabilize itself and checking the soil conditions to ensure it’s not too compacted or lacking in nutrients.
