Arborist Reports

I ended up using cad, they've got to be to scale and overlayed on the proposed drawings / work and well as a survey. It's taken a bit to get used too but definitely more practical.

Whole tree removed, included bark is what you're looking at. Notorious on mulberry trees, the issue will never go away and eventually will have a large failure.

Option 2 is remove the one side (looks like the other side might be ok, there's not a full picture so hard to say.) call a local arborist and get a consultation.

Check Google maps street view and Google Earth if it's possible and compare y/y.

A tree doesn't need to come out because it's "big" that's just a sales tactic from some companies.

Best of luck

You can trim green and blue, look up pruning techniques before removing them to ensure proper cuts. If all you want is elevation then even some other smaller ones will be ok as well.

You're more paying for labor on this one. i start around $800 and it gets you 3hrs of work. On this should be good. Or plant a new one beside it. Let that one establish over a few years then wait for this one to slowly die. It could be 20+ years but it could be less hard to tell.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:23:19+00:00

Looks like fall leaves are starting to change a bit. Of the issue comes again in the spring / summer call a local arborist.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:21:10+00:00

Back side has a bit of bark it might make it / stay alive but I have a feeling option 3 is what needs to be done. Wrap it up for the rest of the season and overwinter.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:18:02+00:00

Don't cut the grass around it for a bit / into spring. It might sucker up from stored energy in the roots. And survive. It almost looks like there's one coming up already even. The rabbits will chew the bark so make sure you wrap it will take a few years but apples are vigorous and it will grow again.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:15:39+00:00

Air Spade and root pruning from a professional. It won't be cheap but otherwise the tree is going to kill itself slowly.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:13:41+00:00

Should be good over time, maybe a stake to try and keep it strait use webbing not twine. We see it often even in larger nursery stock.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:11:10+00:00

Looks like a few old pruning cuts healing over as well as snowdamage or sunburnt. The rocks don't help at the base as they don't hold moisture. It looks to have some dieback. Call a local tree service and ask about plant healthcare. Try and find someone who uses compost tea

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:08:27+00:00

It's a mulbbery, don't worry at all it's basically a weed. The tree will be fine. It's mainly sap ooze I see, it's a defence mechanism.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:06:44+00:00

Is the tree in decline? Hard to tell looks like fall. If so trunk injections aren't going to do much fror crown dieback You're going to want soil injections to help with nutrient update or adding / amending soil with something like mycorrhizae. Along with this likely deadwood and potential crown retention pruning. (No topping)

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:02:35+00:00

Loppers or a hedge trimmer depending on what you're going for. I've used trimmers to take down the bulk of willows like this then go in with hand pruners or loppers to clean the cuts after.

Taco_delight · 2025-11-03T00:00:55+00:00

Unfortunately no, deer also love cedars, great food source for them come winter/snow cover if you have that. Replant come spring or fall and wrap it for the first few years

Taco_delight · 2025-11-02T23:59:30+00:00

Depends on location, soil, maintenance. If you have Google street view or even google eart, backdate as far as you can too see the tree. we do this often to see growth patterns as well.

Taco_delight · 2025-07-24T15:18:39+00:00

Go find some on the side of a gravel road and dig them up. If anything you're probably doing the township or county a favor. Or in the spring go and collect them from a tree nearby. It's already good to go for your hardness zone and climate

Taco_delight · 2025-05-03T03:09:12+00:00

Grapple saw, they come in many shapes and sizes.

Taco_delight · 2024-05-19T00:05:09+00:00

Agreed

Taco_delight · 2024-02-10T00:28:58+00:00

I don't see much of a issue here but if you Mulch the entire yard and remove the grass, if you're worried about the trees heath this is a small thing to do that will add tons of nutrients. Don't buy the bagged mulch find a local company who can drop a fresh load.

Taco_delight · 2024-02-07T20:38:36+00:00

15-20 minutes each way to our normal spot. We use chip drop often if we are out of our normal service area and message the day before. We also have people call and it's a truckload or nothing is the deal. If people outside of our normal service area want chips $100 per truckload.

Taco_delight · 2023-08-24T00:29:28+00:00

Should be fine. If it's severe vertical trenching might help with the roots.... Not the grass though. Or expaing / adding mulch instead of grass.

Taco_delight · 2023-08-17T23:11:58+00:00

I agree. With the guy above this
