With the HUGE snow/ice storm we lost a lot of limbs and tree tops. The tree tops are what concerns me. If the tree is young or old, do we cut down all that have a shattered main trunk? Will bugs/fungas creep in and kill it anyway. What...

Good evening, I have a mess on my hands after this last storm we had. I have about 5 trees, (3 pear, 1 magnolia and 1 weeping willow)that have been stripped of all their branches and limbs. If they are pruned way back, do they have a...

I have a variegated willow tree that was damaged in the storm. One of the main branches has split and separated from the trunk but did not fall off. Is there a way to put it back together with tape or something and expect it to heal? If...

Hello, My two 15 ft jacquimontii birch trees(planted this past September)were damaged from the recent Puget Sound ice storm. There was no breakage, but the top of the trees did touch the gound. They are now upright, but the top half of...

What zone am I in for zip code 92320. Thank you

Sorry to be asking a question yet again, and I really wish I wasn’t asking this question, as my money-tree is very dear to me. I just discovered that it was doing poorly. I am in zone 6B, and 7 days ago I repotted a money-tree from organic...
