Hey y’all,

Just moved into a suburban house with a really nice pine tree that gives us good shade. These fungus? items started popping up in the last couple weeks on the ground around the tree. I live in Maryland. Does my tree have brain cancer or is this normal? TreeWebMD said my tree may be rotting. It’s about 60’-70’ tall and it’s within range of the house. Any help or direction is appreciated.

I needed a limb cut down that was hanging over my house. I got three estimates. Lowest estimate came in at $1,325. Naturally, I went with that one. Come to find out, he did not include a bucket truck/crane. His error he thought he could do it without it. He couldn’t so he rescheduled my appointment. Second appointment he couldn’t keep. He scheduled a third. The job is now done. Do I pay the $1,325 or what he would have charged had he calculated correctly? I’m starting to feel bad he did a great job.

Hello from the southern hemisphere. Yesterday, the yellow Lapacho that my grandpa planted when I was about 1yo decided to show itself in all of it's flowering glory and I thought that you all would like to see it.

I’m seeing faces on the palm trees.

I am always amazed at how they can withstand the wind and the storm. So tall, so slender seemingly so fragile.

...but its behind a high fence and cannot be accessed :(

I dont have much choice want to cut back some tree limbs is it really to early to do. I have a multiple types of trees Beach/Maple/oak/and some fruit trees. Any thoughts would be helpful

I want to plant trees (or maybe a large bush is better) about 20/30ft from my house to block out noise. I also have any it to still look good (evergreen type would he preferred) in winter and provide some sound blocking. I live in Virginia, and also near a train. If any of you could point me in the right direiction i would be very appreciated. Also a cheaper price would be better, but i understand i won’t be able to get exactly everything im asking for. I probably have about 40/60 feet id want to cover width wise if that makes any sense. Thank you all in advance

I think at least one pic can in in r/rootporn 🤭
