My company is looking for mature stands of Paulownia to harvest. Can be wild stands or plantations. May also be interested in purchasing logs if they have already been felled.

found this sapling in my backyard about six months ago. It was only about a foot tall. I dug it up and planted it in a pot, and now it’s shot up to about 3 feet. I believe it’s a Japanese maple, and I’d like to continue growing it, but it looks odd. Am I doing something wrong?

I planted a few silver maple (I think) seeds on a whim earlier this summer with my youngest as an opportunity to introduce her to the life cycle of plants. They were initially planted in some old plastic plug style pots, and potted up into these bigger pots a few weeks ago. What would I need to do to get these through the winter? I’m in southern Wisconsin (zone 5). Should they come inside? Stay outside - in their pots or in the ground? I am maybe looking at replacing a much larger maple that was rotted on the inside and came down last year - would a tree grown from a seedling such as this be a good replacement, and what do I need to consider when replacing a mature tree?

Neighbor hit it and tore one of its main forks in its trunk, this happened years ago, first couple years, seems to have been fine, but the last few I keep seeing parts of the tree that aren’t growing.

Should I remove the limbs that haven’t shown growth this year? Will removing limbs that are healthy (like at the bottom where it’s a pain to mow around.) hurt it further?

Is this tree dying a slow death, or can it be saved?

Hey, I will try to describe this as much as I can as english is not my native language.

For starters : Photo 1 : is on top of the leaves Photo 2 : is under the leaves Photo 3 : is some insect I could see on some of the leaves (we can see some on photo 2 as well).

Most of the leaves under attack seem to be on top of the tree. They look like small bright yellow punctures. Under them are lots of little bright red things (photo taken in the evening so they don't look so bright) that if you rub your finger on it you get some of this red thing. Some white insects (not a lot) could be found on the leaves, under they seem to be chysalis (like the one near my finger on photo 2).

I would like to know what these are and what can be done to take measures and help the tree.

I have 2 ideas (a red spider mite or mealybugs from what I could find) but couldn't find some definitve answer and not a single picture came close to what I have.

I am south of France, the temperature is 36°C on the afternoon, 20°C the morning and night. Very hot and dry. We water it everyday.

Thanks in advance.

There’s an abandoned property down the road that has some very skinny, tall oak looking trees. I’m guessing “Skinny Genes” or “Kindred Spirit”?

They’re way too large to dig up and relocate, and I have no idea who the owner of the place is or was. These trees are just off the main road, and many people walk through there to get to a small river to fish in.

Would I have any success with a cutting? Or would it be easier to try my luck with some acorns?

I am starting a low-cost or at-cost service to save hemlock trees from the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid.

I need many Kioritz Soil Injectors for HWA treatments in Michigan.

Any condition accepted. I can get parts. Will pay a fair price and shipping.

Please respond if you have one to sell or donate. Please respond if you know of any other source to find them.

Thank you.
