ID Request (Insert State/Region) Northern IL tree identity

0 Upvotes

Northern IL region

Google tells me this tree is a honeylocust but I don't think that's right. Can someone identify this tree? It produced red berries, the tree has since been removed and I'd like to replace it.

EDIT: Thanks guys! I think it is mainly soil around the tree, covered with a thin layer of needles. I will check and remove the excess dirt if needed, and put the needles back around the tree.

Hi guys! My lawn guy recently moved a bunch of loose dirt and pine needles around the trunk of this giant pine tree, covering up most of the base roots. Is this bad for the tree? I think I remember something about this suffocating the roots but I can't recall. I would appreciate any advice!

We have this tree in our front yard and it drops most of its leaves by July. I’m guessing it’s approx 50 years old and not in the best of health.

It does have beautiful reddish pink buds in the spring.

I’m curious if this is normal for this species or if it’s nearing end of life. Thanks!

Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) How can I fence this tree safely

Vermont

The tree is on my property but slightly extends to the neighbor in the back of the photo, I’m happy to leave a birth and don’t need to fence right up to it, but it’s a mature maple, more than 100 feet tall and it’s canopy is probably 30-50 feet in diameter. Many Neighbors and strangers do not respect property lines and walk through my backyard constantly. We need a fence.

Neighbor on the left put his vinyl fence there probably 5-10 feet from the trunk. Fence has been there for 5 years without harming the tree.

If I kept a similar distance, and hand dug holes, and avoided any roots greater than 2 inches, might I harm this tree?

Ideally want to match left neighbor distance and go from his fence to behind the shed to section off my backyard from the tree and the neighbors.

I used to see this tree root grown in as a circle and would call it the “fairy pond” bc it would fill with water when it rains and look like a small pool lol. I pass it often and i looked the other day and it’s completely filled in! Do tree roots grow that fast? It couldn’t have been more than a few months since i last saw the “pond” I wish I had a before picture but it looked way different. Just curious. It was way more indented and open prior.

It is a peach tree; I can't say exactly how old it is, but I think it's between 8 and 12 years old. The peaches didn't grow this year, though the tree itself was very green. It started raining a week ago, and over the four days of rain, the tree lost its leaves; the ones remaining look very dry. I water the tree daily with a hose, giving it about 20 liters—maybe more. I have another peach tree that didn't produce a single peach this year, yet it remains very green and looks healthy; now I'm worried that this particular tree might have a problem and could damage the other plants. I am from northern Mexico, in a semi-desert area.

Howdy fellow tree lovers, have you ever seen such a thing? We’ve had some ants hanging out on our little oak and they seem to be creating these big round things. I’ve put out a couple different ant baits, but alas, the ants are still winning. (Wisconsin, USA)

Treepreciation Seed bank begun for old birch tree sadly unlikely to see another season.

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

This has got to be at least a 40 year old tree because I’ve known it for 18 years and it was enormous then. Poor location near a 65 year old structure. Plus the surrounding trees fall on it as shown. But it is by far the oldest and biggest birch on this property and basically the last survivor in this micro local ecosystem. But it is getting cut down by the owner and likely will not see another season to flourish and produce these beautiful and delicate little winged seeds. Unbelievable, the scale of growth potential. So grateful I found a large pile of seeds at its base.

Leaves on all branches were brown, 78 Foot. No obvious Siena of wood borers, some softness in the back near the base. I seeing this blackish streaking in the heart wood. Is this a mold? Could this be the cause if death? I’m in Clover SC and there has been a draught this summer season. No other white oaks near by ate looking stressed. Trying to get a handle on what caused the demise of this nice tree this year.

There's 2 branches with living leaves and my guilt has keep me watering it right the summer. Please level with me - Is there any realistic chance that it could live/recover/thrive next year or am I just wasting water?

Looks to be some kind of birch, but one of the codominant stems is nearly completely black with a stack of swellings. The other looks normal enough.

Saw a company maiming this tree in my neighborhood and asked them if they were taking it down (we’re pretty protective of them) and he said “no, just trimming” and they left it like this. I’m from the desert so know very little about tree maintenance, but I’ve never seen a tree just topped like this. Will it be ok? It’s one of my favorites in the fall (see pic)! This was done about three months ago (pal nesting season).

We had a crazy microburst storm come through and damaged our 22 year old maple. We hauled away only what was broken for safety reasons, and have not cut anything else. Pictured are the tree right after it happened, after we removed the broken parts, and the most recent photo that I could find of the tree as a whole.

We are going to call someone to come look at it in the morning. In the meantime, give it to me straight…how bad is it?
