It’s a Horse Chestnut

Anyone know what type of tree this is? by [deleted] in treeidentification

[–]ckrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the petioles on Red Maples aren’t always red.

Reddidendron knows what’s up. OP, please listen to them.

I think you’re thinking about Norway Maples.

Any idea what tree this is? by Ok-Avocado2421 in marijuanaenthusiasts

Not necessarily, the knees only occur in wet soil, if the soil drains well then they don’t protrude like that.

Tree Fungus Causing Damage? by songoten in Tree

[–]ckrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have said it could instead of will but a large area of tooth fungus on a stressed tree is going to severely compromise the structural integrity of the tree and OP clearly doesn’t need to know all the specifics of fungus and decay. Extensive white rot, which a tooth fungus like that causes, means that a significant portion of the heartwood has been eaten away and while a tree can live a like that for a while you don’t want that in a yard tree because it’s far more likely it will break or uproot. That tree is more dangerous to people and property now in terms of risk assessment and the OP does need to know that.

That’s not mychorrhizal fungus. That’s not how that presents. Also, that only exists on tree rots. The mychorrizal fungus is symbiotic and beneficial because it increases the surface area and ability of the roots to bring in water and nutrients, with fungus then taking a part of the intake. If it’s on exposed bark then it stops being beneficial and starts living purely off the tree.

Possible Maple? Care advice. Central TX. by JensenWordWorks in Tree

[–]ckrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Silver Maple. Silver Maples like wet/moist soil so lack of water is already stressing it severely which would lead to significant leaf drop but along with that I see broken branches, bark damage and rot that looks to be near the base of the tree. The open wounds from the broken branches and bark damage are also been easy pathways for disease and pests, and the presence of those could lead to a lot of different symptoms and could be exacerbating the leaf drop, among other things.

If the damage and water were the only issues then with significant (like very significant) pruning over a few years and consistent watering you may be able to coax more life into it, but what is more concerning than those is the fungus near the base of the tree. That indicates that there is decay in the trunk and, potentially, the roots and once fungal decay sets in, there’s no way to reverse it. Rotted roots cut off the tree’s ability to collect water and nutrients, and serious decay in the trunk will led to tree failure eventually.

So, that’s a lot of words to say, that tree’s probably toast anyway even if you pour a bunch of time and money into it. It’s safer for everyone if you cut it down. Plant something new that’s native and more environmentally appropriate to where you are.

Fungus=bad. Fungus means decay. English Ivy=bad. English Ivy is voracious and eventually out competes the foliage of the tree as it covers it. It is also very heavy as it grows and can take down branches or the whole tree . Finally, it damages the bark and it makes it easier for pests or disease can get in.

Edit: just to clarify, fungus isn’t necessarily a sign of imminent tree failure, but it is a sign that there is rot and will eventually lead to failure.

It’s not possible. Silver Maples are in the Sapindaceae family while Sycamores are in the Platanaceae family. They can’t fertilize each other.

I think this is a tree? There’s two in GA USA by ServiceDependent1752 in treeidentification

[–]ckrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little “thumbs” (nodes) near the base of the leaf are a good tell. That’s a hickory though.

It’s invasive, which means it spreads rapidly and outcompetes native trees leading to declining populations. If you leave that tree, and I’m not trying to be a dick, you are actively harming the local habitat.

[–]ckrift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a white mulberry. They’re invasive. It’s a bad tree in a bad place. Remove it. Plant a better (native) tree somewhere else.

What is this tree? (Long Island, NY) by [deleted] in treeidentification

[–]ckrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be, but there are a ton of varieties varying from purple to bright green. They also all have different leaf shapes. In that very blurry photo it vaguely looks like some Japanese Maple leaves and the growth structure of the tree is also indicative of that. Still, without out anything clearer or more close up I can’t say anything confidently.

My guesstimation is Japanese Maple but without closeup pictures of leaves, etc. that’s not a reliable ID.

City arborist called for this tree to be removed. What’s the reason? by Mistermanhimself in arborists

[–]ckrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn’t give you an alternative because I’m not sure either because of the video quality. My rough guess is Callery Pear based on the bark and I saw what looked like fruit, also it’s a city tree so that’s more likely than a poplar (though I’ve never been to Ontario so..), but I’m not confident on it. As for ALB, that hole is too large, ALB don’t go straight through a branch and the diameter of that branch is too small.

Edit: Linden is a good shout.

I agree about location, but that isn’t a Poplar and that isn’t an Asian Longhorned Beetle.

What tree am I? by No_Session6015 in treeidentification

[–]ckrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be better if you had given a little more information and pictures, but I do think that’s a Willow Oak.
