I thought Chinese Pistache trees turned red??
Comments (18)My frosty yard isn’t good for late- coloring trees (Except oaks, which don’t seem to care about typical November freezes) And in fact, I was about to post that various red oaks seemed better than normal this year. Could just be that they are standing out better, since various other trees look awful. I see oaks that hold onto to a bright red color for a really long time, I wonder if any have been selected for that?...See MoreSick Chinese Pistache?
Comments (10)It isn't Chinese pistache. It awfully looks like Japanese maple to me. Anyway, NO weed and feed! It is a terrible product that contains way too much poison for a few weeds and also it comes at wrong time to feed the lawn as well. It will stunt growth or cause damage to trees and shrubs where the roots have spread all over the lawn. It should not be sold at all. If you want to control weeds, pre-emergence control product is much safer. You apply during sept and feb for maximum control. For watering practice, you should always water during dry spell esp what you had suffered in Austin. Once a month of deep watering. Higher water bill is better than dead trees....See MoreCan Chinese Pistache and Pistacio nut tree work together to pollinate?

Comments (11)Agree with laceyvail - no sealing! That is not & has not been a recommended practice on a live tree for a long time. ! I disagree with ken_adrian only because if you cut this limb off there’s not much tree left as looks like major branches & limbs coming out. In that case you may as well take out whole tree.. Just wait until spring to see if that section leafs out. As long as there is cambium left unharmed to feed the branches left on that tree limb it has good chance. I had a Bloodgood Japanese maple tree that had the back 1/3 of it - a major branch like yours - ripped off in a storm when a huge Douglas Fir limb fell on it. The tear was easily as large as yours looks.. I left it alone - easy to do as the damaged side not visible from most of my yard. That ripped section weeped & seeped sap every spring for a few years but that tree did heal itself & put out other new limbs above & below the tear. I no longer own that house but my old neighbors have sent me pictures of its majestic fall colors as proof that it lives on in good health. So, my advice is - wait until spring to assess, don’t cut anything except obviously dead, dying or crossing branches....See MoreDragonfly Hollow (z7b,North Texas)
