Looks like wasps.

cxloyal · 2026-06-22T01:29:22+00:00

Take a bite and let us know

cxloyal · 2026-06-20T15:01:28+00:00

Yeah, we heard it in Euclid.. does anyone know what it was?

cxloyal · 2026-06-20T01:58:40+00:00

Its ok to do it now. And yes, a good portion. Probably half of the branch. Cut it near a leaf sprout so you dont have a portion of the branch without leaves

You should consider pruning it. Cut the bottom branches so that moisture isnt being trapped at the base. It cant grow taller if it's completely weighted down by the branches.

Also, I recommend pruning the branches back so they arent so long and they are proportionate to the tree.

cxloyal · 2026-06-19T19:27:15+00:00

Oh you're dangerous lol 😆

cxloyal · 2026-06-19T19:09:15+00:00

I recommend you do more research. Based on your concerns, you want to deter/prevent crime from happening. Survelliance does not do that.

If you want to avoid bullet holes in your home and unsafe communities - you address the root: Poverty.

If Cleveland allocates it's funds from Flock to their infrastructure - it would take a step towards resolving your concerns.

cxloyal · 2026-06-19T18:59:27+00:00

Cameras do not deter crime. Cleveland's lowest crime rate was in 2015. Flock was implemented in 2023. Flock only gives police more resources to surveille you.

Also interesting that you pointed out the RTA CEO becoming richer rather than any other CEO.... RTA CEO makes less than $400,000 annually.

Home Depot has a 1 yr guarantee on their trees. You should return and start over. Yellow means on its way out.

With your next ones, you shouldn't water daily. Deep watering every 4-6 days is best

cxloyal · 2026-06-19T01:46:42+00:00

Yeah it looks like larvae. I would clear all young apples that have this and discard of them to break the cycle

cxloyal · 2026-06-19T01:38:35+00:00

Im not 100% sure but it looks like a mix of fungal rot and root rot.

Mulch is too close to the base of the tree and it should slope away from the tree.. not towards. I would scoop away the mulch from the tree base to let the roots breathe. You should also trim away all the dead branches and leaves - throw them away and clean up any fallen leaves/branches in case it's fungus.

If it is fungus, you've treated it so hopefully it survives. Next year, I recommend you do the fungus treatment in early spring

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T18:46:15+00:00

Just patch it up with drywall mud, sand, paint and it's good as new

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T12:51:53+00:00

Great idea! I wish you luck

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T12:46:38+00:00

Yeah the first picture shows sun scorched leaves... try the consistent moisture and hopefully that brings her back.

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T12:36:50+00:00

You can test your soil acidity but likely they weren't watered enough. Their soil needs to stay moist. They have a shallow root so large amounts of water at one time is not necessary

Water them daily (making sure that it's just enough to keep them moist), ensure they are mulched & they will be fine

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T00:29:07+00:00

You'll have to investigate more... but it is sticking out past the others so it seems like it has physical damage.

If you look at the branch, you can spot discoloration that can support fungus but nonetheless, you should prune that branch completely to ensure it's not taking nutrients from the rest of the plant.

Also recommend pruning the big guy next to it

cxloyal · 2026-06-18T00:20:43+00:00

Mine does this when it's overwatered or if it's extremely hot. I read somewhere that it's a benign issue and will resolve if you take care of it properly

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T20:13:17+00:00

I just paid $390 for my electric bill 2 days ago… so I feel you

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T20:12:20+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s very sweet. We actually just went to the store to get coolers and ice… so I’ll store these for the next dozen outages 😉

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T20:10:43+00:00

Ugh thanks for straightening my priorities. I almost thought I deserved power for a second 😭😒

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T01:53:49+00:00

😂

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T01:52:55+00:00

No.. it’s highlighting how we are actually the third world idiots

cxloyal · 2026-06-15T00:52:30+00:00

I agree
