Planting a boxed tree...leave wood bottom in place?
Comments (5)Will the wood break down naturally? ... probably not for a very very very long time. The tree may not still be around when the process is complete. Will drainage be affected? ... probably. This may or may not be a significant concern, mainly depending on your soil's overall drainage profile. Will root system establishment be impacted? ... almost certainly, to some degree. Will the problems result in a less healthy tree or even death? ... Maybe not, but there are a lot of unknown variables that could be considered. If it were me, I'd try to remove the bottom. Have you considered trying to remove the bottom while leaving the sides in tact before placing the rootball into the planting hole? Straps/bands can be used to support the bottom and help lower the plant into place. After placement, the straps/bands can be pulled out from underneath just before removing the sides....See MoreIndoor lemon tree losing leaves at the bottom
Comments (3)What kind of low temperatures are you getting right now? It needs to be outside if you are not having temperatures close to freezing. That will cure you leaf drop. Also your lemons are ripe. I dont know what kind it is or if they hold well on the tree but with just a few and that tree being smaller and having trouble I would remove them.

Comments (15)Hi Map1e, I'm doubtful that your tree was grafted. Although your tree could've been grafted its more work for the nursery and why would they do that when a fig does fine on its own roots? I would suggest that you try to root some of your cuttings or if you have any suckers come up pot those up and compare them to the mother tree. If its grafted the suckers and the cuttings that you took will be different. Either the fruit color or leaf structure would be different. Would it be a robust plant if you air layered.... Yes, the fig would have a good headstart if you air layered a section of your 10 ft tree and cut it down to 6ft you would have a 4 ft tree instantly...well almost, you'd have to have roots develop first. I guess that your current option for propagating more trees would be to root some cuttings. Good luck, Little John...See MoreSugar maple tree leaves dying
Comments (4)TJ, This is the only one in the area, there are many silver maples in the neighborhood that are unaffected. I do not use lawn service. David Tornado, After coming out in the spring, a couple of branches turned yellow and lost their leaves and then the entire tree turned slightly yellow and about half of the leaves dropped. Did not loose the remaining leaves but all leaves stayed on the tree and turned brown. Leaves after several weeks are still on the tree but dried brown. David...See MoreKim B
