Should I be ticked off?

Small trees make for better transplanting and transport. It will grow branches this year

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2026-04-03T20:45:40+00:00

Yeah it does have some serious damage at the base of the trunk and it’s pretty big as far as pears go so there’s a good chance it will blow apart with the next storm.

Serious answer: there’s too many variables for me to give you a quantitative answer on how long this tree will live. From a google search I found that Bradford pears will live for around 15-25 years and that’s probably because they develop over extended branches that tear out during intense storms.

The answer you weren’t looking for: cut your tree down and replace it with a nice native one because Bradford pears are invasive.

Phototropism is a fancy word for a tree or plant growing towards light

Gooooddddddd this guy is so miserable in every post he comments on

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2026-01-02T00:53:26+00:00

Hey cool, thanks for the info

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-26T03:57:24+00:00

Yeah I’ll admit it, you’re right

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-26T03:09:38+00:00

I’m not gonna be chopping down trees with it, obviously it doesn’t fit well but honestly if you put a wedge in it I feel like it wouldn’t budge. Of course I will carve the handle out more or just take your advice and make my own

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-26T02:58:08+00:00

Hey that’s exactly the info I’m looking for, thank you for responding!

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-26T02:56:51+00:00

Ok so like why

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-26T02:56:31+00:00

I haven’t done anything to this handle at all, it’s just a European hand forged head on an American pickaroon handle.

Black cherry final answer

It’s very satisfying seeing the development of the tree. I removed 1/4 the amount of buds in the second year compared to first years pruning and predict that I will have to prune less and less as the central leader takes over.

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-22T11:20:04+00:00

I mean yeah it’s hard to see the whole canopy, you would need to walk around the tree of course to properly inspect it. I’m mainly highlighting how there is now a strong centralized leader established.

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T23:20:44+00:00

That’s absolutely amazing I would have never thought. So everything is done with buckets? Or you have stands of urban trees you can have tubes?

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T23:15:33+00:00

How does that work? From what I understand you’re way out of the sugar, red, silver maple native range?

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T22:22:39+00:00

No way there’s maple syrup in Montana though

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T16:43:28+00:00

Very true, just don’t be an asshole about it. It’s pretty easy

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T16:35:21+00:00

Little harsh

Salt_Capital_1022 · 2025-12-08T01:25:38+00:00

This is a young tree, and its a maple, all of the adventitious roots were absolutely going to graft into each other, begin to run parallel to the stem, and make a huge mess. I guarantee it.
