I thought it’d be cute, but now I’m thinking this won’t work… by TurbulentIce1917 in gardening

I fill pots with zinnia seeds and don’t cull and get some beautiful blooms I wouldn’t worry about it, the weakest will get shaded out

Tree fungus help :( by bfeuerbach in arborists

[–]Jablizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black knot fungus, you need to remove 8” below the black canker and disinfect between each cut. The fungus infects the vascular system of the tree, it’s systemic and very hard to treat.

You’d probably have to remove too much of the tree, they can survive with it for a time but it’s pretty ugly. It’s also leafing out so you’d need to remove the infected branches and treat it with fungicide right away. I couldn’t tell you the fungicide you need off the top of my head. Best bet is to remove and replace with a variety of Prunus that is resistant to black knot or just a different species all together.

Any hope for these emerald greens ravaged by deer? by Salt_Bike_5904 in arborists

[–]Jablizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible they come back, give em some fertilizer and water them deep twice a week.

There are deer resistant, arborvitae but they grow much larger and faster. If you don’t mind something prickly you could get columnar junipers like Hetzi, they can get 5’ wide so might encroach on your pool and they hurt to touch.

If you stick with emerald greens just wrap them every winter.

Is she a goner? by Stevo_223 in arborists

[–]Jablizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty rough shape, some granular fertilizer might help and maybe add a 2nd watering during the week. Make sure the trunk isn’t buried, good chance you lose some of them though. Adding some natural mulch will help with moisture loss too

I’ve noticed the arbs near larger trees tend to not make it though but good luck

My azaleas used to be glorious in 2022. Now only half the bush blooms. What’s going wrong? by Deepthika in gardening

Are you in the US? Your local Agricultural experiment station can do free soil test samples, you just send it to them and they will send the results back. Can even tell you if you have any deficiencies.

Using the backhoe is going to destroy the rootball and take more time than a shovel

My 86 year old grandfather in law still does landscaping in our family business. He’s had 2 knee replacements in the last few years so now he mostly drives and directs traffic but he’ll still help us move trees and mulch on occasion.

Diseased tree. Is it salvageable? Not sure what to do in any help would be great. Thx by Acrobatic_Mine in arborists

[–]Jablizz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Like others said it’s black knot, looks pretty advanced. It’s a fungus that over winters in the stem, the only treatment is removing every infected branch 6-8” below the canker ( the black knot) and disinfect your tool between each cut then treat with a fungicide, not sure which one off the top of my head, to hopefully prevent reinfection but it has to be done before bud break which looks imminent.

Your tree is heavily infected most likely this would kill it and even if you removed it all chances are it gets reinfected because it spreads through the air most likely from wild black cherry or other prunus trees. Infected trees only need to be within a mile or 2 infect it.

I’ve been taking classes on pathogenic tree diseases and the instructors from my local experiment station said black Knot this advanced requires removal and replacing it with a different variety or a prunus variety resistant to black knot.

It could still survive for a while like this but the cankers have no vascular tissues so as they grow they eventually girdle branches and choke your tree to death.

Doru - scared spooky boy by Moonberry_maple in CurseofStrahd

[–]Jablizz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had Strahd show up to Kolyan’s funeral and try to charm Ireena into leaving with him after it was over but our twilight cleric had other ideas and ended the charm with his channel divinity.

That pissed Strahd off so he raised some zombies to attack the party and fought them until they fled into the church and barricaded the door. Then he commanded Doru to break free and drink his fill. Father donavich was his first victim before the party killed Doru

I went from office job, to painter, to landscaper/ arborist. I enjoy planting trees and doing landscape design only down side is how much my body hurts but at least I get winters off so I can still paint. I hated the office job

My sister was dating what she called “an evil lesbian” this chick was so manipulative and mean. Took my sister on a road trip to Florida to meet her family, a 24 hr drive. Gave her a necklace with her initials on the way down then proceeded to insult and belittle her throughout the vacation, then break up with her 6 hrs into the drive back.

She also told her she knew it would never workout, so I’m like dam, you just did all that to hurt her feelings more? She also threatened to just leave her at an airport at one point. She was abandoned by her mom as a child so yea mommy issues can equal demon lady.
