honey locust tree seedling
Comments (0)Hello, I have started several plants from seeds and now I have two that look almost identical. One I know is a honey locust tree, however, the only difference is one has kinda veins in the leaves and two single leaves way at the bottom. The other is similar without the veins and the two single leaves at the bottom. Can anyone tell me which one is the Honey Locust? I think the Honey Locust is the one with the veins and the two single leaves at the bottom, they both are only a few weeks old. Thanks.....See MoreHoney Locust is leaning
Comments (9)Would there be enough light for a conifer if it gets shaded late in the day? I'm thinking I will do something like is shown in the link below for the willow once it gets larger. It is currently growing very rapidly. It looks like it worked out really well for them, the photos are on the second page of that link. I'll likely It's not going to hurt anything at this point to wait till fall to remove, so I'll wait till it drops it's leaves and try transplanting it to our property up north where it will have lots of room to do whatever it wants without causing harm to anyone or anything. I'm sure I paid way too much for it, I know it was over $100 2 years ago when I got it and it was on sale. Yes, I've seen the warnings about not growing under fast growing trees. I absolutely believe you that the vast majority of people have a lot of trouble growing under these trees. I give my plants a bit more care than most people can manage... I just figure they are going to consume more resources than they otherwise would if they were under a slower tree. Just like the ones under the green ash consume more resources. Buying your miracle grow in 50# bags helps. I'm on city water, that's the parts that really sucks, prices went up again this year, could have months up to $300. I always have at least a few hosta laying around that are not even in pots, just clumps maybe a bit of soil, with roots astray, many of those grow exceedingly well, that gives you an idea of how often I water. It rains or I water, daily, if it's hot, I water 2-3X (for everything that likes to be moist / wet). I have a little experiment going. I planted 1" tissue culture Stained Glass hosta in full sun in mulch only, 10 days out, all are looking good except for one that is dragging it's feet a little. Biggest slow down was they got burnt a little, but they are overcoming it. They do have excellent root systems and will eventually grow down into the soil. I wanted to see how rapidly they would grow in a very well aerated environment - mulch. -- The drive to test some of these things is carry over from some excellent results I've had with container growing in very fast soils as well as airoponics. If it really gets to be a problem under some of these trees, I'll go to the root bag idea someone suggested. I'll check out the trees you mention. Looking at things more tonight, I may not even need another tree up there to replace it, maybe a Empress Wu Hosta (giant) in it's place! I will wait till fall to make the changes. Thanks!

Comments (4)The tree is 30 feet tall. The webs are mostly in the upper branches. If you've never seen them in person, the webs actually bind a number of leaves together. So unless you use your fingers, you can't get at the worms. These aren't like tent catepillar nests where the webbing is visible. The webbing is almost like a glue that holds the matted brown leaves together protecting the worms. So should I wait until next June? Quesiton is, how do I know when to spray? I can't see the tiny worms up there. All I see is the matted brown leaves that appear after the worms are well established....See MoreHelp - Honey Locust leaves turning yellow and falling off
Comments (4)It is not uncommon for honey locust to loose some leaves during hot summer weeks. The majority of the roots are out at the drip line, not near the base of the tree. For a mature tree, the area near the trunk should never be watered. And yes, triclopyr can take several years to show its effect. The roots on the side on the tree with the herbicide damage would be most effected, and thus that side of the branches would show the most damage....See MoreDan _Staley (5b Sunset 2B AHS 7)
