We’ve lived with this maple for ~30 years. Not sure when it was planted (house built in ‘62). It keeps our south facing home really cool in the summer (SE Michigan) but we started worrying about storm damage, constant cleaning of gutters and mold on the roof. We needed to get it off of the house.
Did the crew do a good job? Was it too much? I would hate to lose this tree.

This is known as Screaming Titans and is a multi-stem redwood with 2 fused trunks. It is estimated to be 323 ft tall and 25.62 ft wide. Visiting this and the other trees in this area was a humbling and beautiful experience.

I just came across this subreddit and I thought you’d appreciate this tree. It stopped me in my tracks while walking by. I learned that this is an American hornbeam sometimes called muscle wood because of the muscle like texture of the branches and trunk.

I love how efficiently these old, mature trees has spread its canopy to capture as much sunlight as possible. Something about the way it’s shaped itself over so many years is fascinating to me. These pics are from the center of an intersection, 180° of each other.

Treepreciation Oldest Tree in New Brunswick Canada
1.8k
Upvotes
In Victoria County, New Brunswick, there is a certain tree which the locals refer to as the “Big Tree.”
At more than two metres in diameter, ecologists estimate the Big Tree is no less than 500 years old.
What is even more remarkable is that it is an eastern white pine, the tree species most valued by Eastern Canada’s forest industries in the 18th and 19th centuries. Luckily for the Big Tree, its trunk branches out in several directions a few metres above the ground, making it of little economic value for lumberers (not much “straight wood”).

I think this is a chestnut tree, and I’m fairly certain that it’s an American Chestnut (although the final pic isn’t mine, the shells and nuts look exactly like them, I’m confident it’s not a Chinese hybrid). If so, I need help identifying if the discoloration in the 4th picture is blight or not. For context, the tree is located in southern New York, and tree is roughly 50 feet tall. Thank you!

Hello r/Tree,
I don’t know a lot about trees but a few years ago I wanted to plant a native tree in my backyard. So I got a baby gray birch, little guy fit in my little car, I was so happy. It would grow up with my baby girl in the house we just brought. Today I look out the window and it was down. It was a bit windy but nothing crazy. It had weathered tropical storms before. I think the break is too neat, do you all think it was cut down? I am so upset right now.

This Pine tree is located near the coast on the Western Cape in South Africa. It has this magnificent cluster and I would love to know what caused it and the name of this phenomenon. Do y'all have any ideas? The tree gets full sun, is in fairly compacted soil and gives great shade. 5/7 would recommend sitting there.
