Tree ID (NJ - 7B)

Can anyone identify this tree? AI isn’t helping.

No real odor from the leaves Sometimes the tips of the leaves are pink These are two trees. A baby in my yard and an old one in my neighbors. It’s probably 70’ to 90’ tall in my neighbors yard. You can see where a limb broke off on the tall one. This is in southern NJ 10 miles from Philly (7b) photo taken in yesterday

We just moved into a house that has a peach tree. Poor thing is a mess. Too many peaches, apparently. Can this be saved at all even if it is to just keep the one limb?

Circle of orange mushrooms around a huge oak

I have a massive oak tree that was surrounded by bright orange mushrooms that I'd never seen before this summer. Is this a symptom of anything? I'm concerned because the tree leans in a direction that could be destructive, and it would cost me a fortune to take down

Tree care drug tests

4 Upvotes

Hello, I’m hoping this question is ok to post here!

I recently graduated with an enviro sci degree and I am hoping to eventually become an ISA certified arborist.

I’ve been looking at some job postings and a lot of companies require a drug test (specifically, Davey). I’m just curious how strict these tests are/how boned I would be if I tested positive? For reference I use recreational marijuana and I’m in a medical ketamine treatment program. I have never been (and never will be) high on the job and I take the day off when I have ketamine treatment. I know in WA state there are some laws about discriminating against marijuana use but I’m not sure if that applies here.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated 🙏

(Throwaway bc this is a lot of personal info)

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.

I bought a Japanese snowcone. What can you tell me about it?

3 Upvotes

I live in central VA which is zone 7B. I have a small backyard (about 150'X150') with absolutely no shade at all. I tried to plant a dogwood last year and it died. I guess because dogwoods are hard to grow in full sun. I went to a plant nursery and talked to the guy and he suggested several trees including a crape mrytle and this Japanese snowcone (a variety of the snowbell.) We landed on that one. Has anyone heard of it? If so, What are your thoughts on it? We're trying to build a little bird sanctuary with bird feeders and houses hanging on our nearby fence.

Worried because I saw a photo on here . . .

I saw a post about a maple and it had some girdling, with a rood that looked like the one my maple has right at it's base. The maple is (we think) a Trident Maple, it was planted sometime after 1946, it used to have a companion tree too close and diseased and that tree got removed. The two trees were tied together with a rope (I have no idea why) and I removed as much of the rope as I could, and can't really even see where it once was, now.

Just hoping someone can tell me if I need to do anything to help this tree at the base.

I bought a house recently and I have some beautiful trees. However one of the neighbors pointed out one of my maples. I don’t know what kind it is. It has a lot of naked dead branches. We did have a pretty hot summer in CT and it’s south facing. Any thoughts?

Autumn Blaze Maple wilting?

I'm not really well versed in trees or what to do for them... Anyone have any insights on what's goin on with my autumn blaze maple?

It's been hot here, cooler now, but fairly rainy recently so it's had enough rain water, to my knowledge.

Could it possibly be sick?

Added in a picture of the trunk, because it still looks healthy to me

I own a local tree service, the company has been in business for over 25 years. I’ve been an ISA certified Arborist for 10. I love educating clients and the industry as a whole. We used to have 75+ leads a month, until Google updated policies with SEO and organic rankings. I’m down to 5 leads a month. We’re basically surviving off referrals and repeat customers. We have 70+ google reviews with a 4.8 rating, I’m not being found on google under critical keywords. Been screwed over by lots of marketing firms.

Has anyone used a tree service exclusive marketing firm?

Maple tree struggling in 5a

As a baby sapling, this (swamp, I think) maple was moved from 6b to 5a. I’m sure that hasn’t helped it, but it was growing over the past 6 years until it started looking like this…is there anything that can be done?
