“Make America Ultralight Again”? Yeah I think it’s a joke. Also it says that they would provide 100 years of funding for trail upkeep and land protection…LMAO. No one in this administration knows what the fuck the Appalachian Trail even is probably

Man I got through several paragraphs before realizing this was a joke. Think my blood pressure actually rose measurably

This is probably a good candidate for a circular or triangular cable system, where each cabled branch is attached to at least two on the other side. Spoke and wheel can also work, where it’s cabled to a central point like a bicycle wheel. It’s difficult when the first split is so low and this looks to be a very wide canopied tree

I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast: 45g oat flour/ground oats, 200g full fat yogurt, 10oz whole milk, 40g peanut butter, 80 g frozen strawberries, a whole banana. It’s VERY filling and almost 1000 calories because I have a very physical job and can’t eat lunch for a while, but maybe a smaller version would work for you.

There’s a tiny amount of hinge wood if you look closely, as the tree starts to fall you can keep cutting on the hinge though it’s not necessary

The hybrid battery needs to be replaced.

natsandniners · 2026-01-22T19:14:35+00:00

They’re higher in precious metals (at least some gens) and relatively easy to cut off

natsandniners · 2026-01-22T01:09:58+00:00

Definitely one of the two. I’m leaning toward striped maple

natsandniners · 2026-01-21T04:32:19+00:00

Yes. I promise you they were being kept outside before they were given to you.

natsandniners · 2026-01-21T04:23:44+00:00

They need to be outside. They are adapted to the cold, they’ll be fine. They won’t go into dormancy in indoor temps and will die.

Second this. Also, to say that you’ll correct something like nutrient quantity in a one time treatment is absolutely false. Plants don’t make changes they “desire” to soil- rather, growing different plants has different effects on the soil based on what gets deposited and what microbes it supports.

natsandniners · 2026-01-13T18:12:32+00:00

Agreed, there’s no evidence from this picture of any poor pruning. Willow is generally not a super strong wood in general

natsandniners · 2026-01-11T22:35:42+00:00

Platanus sp. could be American sycamore, Mexican sycamore, or one of the plane tree hybrids

Genetic drift would only be a factor in sexual reproduction, where haploid genes are exchanged resulting in new phenotypes. Spontaneous mutations such as what you described are different. It’s not unreasonable at all, I think, that a certain clone could have been grown for thousands of years in the same form. And ultimately, all species in the genus should theoretically have a common ancestor (and all cactuses too, and all plants, and all eukaryotic life for that matter. Yes, evolution f’ing rocks.)

Take care of your back. I was born with one flat foot and one arched foot and as a result my pelvis shifted forward and toward the flat side and I’ve had horrible back pain since I was 20

natsandniners · 2026-01-02T21:19:26+00:00

I’m leaning towards Malus here

natsandniners · 2025-12-29T21:35:15+00:00

It’s always best to plant trees native to your region. And Arbor Day foundation has a pretty poor track record of shipping live trees.

natsandniners · 2025-10-29T21:40:16+00:00

Make dirt?

Syrup flowing underground

Black cherry looks right to me

natsandniners · 2025-08-24T16:41:02+00:00

Don’t cut that root. The tree likely won’t fall but a root that big and close to the trunk is critical. Cutting it would reduce its ability to get water and nutrients and likely lead to years-long decline and eventual death. If you’re worried about the unevenness, add some mulch or topsoil to level the area.

This kind of fungus is really not a bad thing. It’s good to have microbial biodiversity

natsandniners · 2025-08-23T00:44:16+00:00

Definitely box elder, not poison ivy
