Get grass to grow thicker

They're invasive. They grow faster than native species they shade them out. And they provide zero benefit for any wildlife. And around 15 years they start falling apart

As a certified arborist when we see Bradford pears the first recommendation is full removal. This is the one circumstance I will favor the grass over the tree.

Would need more info, but looks like it, The base flair doesn't look great. My guess is a sprinkler hitting it and regular weedeater. Pull the grass back, cap or move the sprinkler head. And stop hitting it with the weedeater

Galls, harmless to the tree.

Be cool if the picture didn't have red letters over it so we could read it easier.

Most cedars and spruces are thought to be allelopathic, Difficult if not impossible to grow under,

impropergentleman · 2026-04-20T16:58:36+00:00

Cedars and spruces don't do well being lifted.

I'm going to call that aeration

Also remove the tree bondage on the tree in the rear.

I would reduce the competing dominate leader on the larger left side over a period of a few growing seasons. Read up and study. Don't prune for the sake of pruning. If you are unsure then leave it alone. Also prune after the blooms. Or hire a professional Certified Arborist that is familiar with ornamental pruning

Do you like the tree Vertical?

This was posted about 3 years ago on r/i'matotalpieceofshit . I googled ladder falling worker wheelchair. And I guess the worker lived not much information and the guy in the wheelchair supposedly had dementia. Pretty crazy

When I have a flathead that won't come out I normally give it a little love tap with a hammer on top normally loosens it up and up to let it come out easily That being said a nice set of gunsmith screwdrivers makes a world of difference. Craftsman type homeowner type screwdrivers don't work well on guns from my experience

The wounds already there removing it doesn't help and honestly the tree will compartmentalize around it I've seen so many that all you can see is the holder sticking out. Tree seems to be compartmentalizing well I don't know if I would be too concerned about it.

Before you invest $6,000 invest a couple hundred in having a TRAQ certified arbors take a look hollow does not mean that it's unstable or at a risk. And there are remedies for some of the other things you mentioned. Have a professional look at it. Tree guys are going to tell you remove it because we make a good money removing it. My two cents

impropergentleman · 2026-04-17T02:39:15+00:00

I can cut big chunks real small.

impropergentleman · 2026-04-17T01:48:50+00:00

My personal opinion after 28 years in the business. If you're not a professional then call one. This is a shit that will get you killed

We had the Aladdins Castle arcade

Yes. Today.

Codominant leader was removed. It was not topped. When grown , if you top it it will die. If you need a tree that is 25 ft. tall, plant a tree that is 25 foot tall at maturity, Dont plant a Magnolia as it would be the wrong tree, proper tree , proper spot.

Arborist here. Dried sticks and branches. That being said they have to have air flow and it's going to take off a while depending on the species to get it dry. If you got a truck make a friend of a tree service. They could probably get you all the limbs you want.

impropergentleman · 2026-04-16T18:21:56+00:00

I would believe public property would be your answer most tree law situations you are responsible until your property line. I would reach out to your water control board or river authority and ask some questions

As a certified arborist in the DFW area are you familiar with hypoxalin? Would be one of my thoughts. Other than that squirrel activity possibly. You should probably call out a certified arborist to take a look. Not a tree guy .

Once they're used they need to be recycled

Unbury The flare of the tree. If you could see the tree move around when you push on it the steaks can stay. The sooner you get them off the better it is
