Will my tree survive?
Comments (4)It should survive. After you squash the worms check all the other trees to avoid same. BT works down here if you need to spray another time....See Moretulip tree
Comments (4)If this tree is as large as I would believe it to be at 11-12 years of age, you are better off planting a new tree. These trees grow quickly and will have considerable root systems. If you absolutely must move this tree, it would have to be done in the very early spring and should be done by a professional. Moving large trees can be a monumental task and if the sentimental value is important enough, have a pro do complete this job for you. The tree will have to be supported as well and they will include this in the price. The pussy willow is easy to do. Take a new, flexible branch tip of 10-18 inches of the tree and place it in water until you see roots. Then plant with root hormone and water frequently. You should be able to start a new plant....See MoreYoshino cherry tree dying?
Comments (7)All plants go through a period of dormancy, some - like the cherries - more completely than others. Since evergreens hold their foliage all year, it is difficult to visually "see" this process, but they do experience a period of very slow or no growth as well. It is a rest period, somewhat akin to our sleeping or the hibernation period that some animals experience. With deciduous trees like the cherries, the onset of dormancy typically coincides with the change of the seasons from summer to fall - shortened day length and colder temperatures, together with the plant's specific genetics, trigger the process. Leaves change color, sometimes whither and dry and then fall off. When this happens naturally, the lack of any foliage left on the tree generally indicates the plant has entered the dormant period but full dormancy, including the cessation of root growth, often takes longer. Early November is a bit soon in most parts of the country for any deciduous tree to be in full dormancy and your trees, still being in leaf, are not quite there yet. The digging, bare rooting and shipping process is likely playing a role in their appearance as well. And while the top growth looks dead or dying, it is very likely the roots are still in growth mode. If you planted the trees correctly and promptly and have provided sufficient water (and continue to do so during any very dry periods this winter), they should be fine come spring. I am a bit curious as to why you felt the need to do mail order from across the country to obtain these trees. Unless located in very remote areas, west coast gardeners are blessed with an enormous selection of retail nurseries and garden centers, virtually all of which operate a full 12 months of the year in our very mild climates. California is a major supplier of nursery stock to much of the country and you should be able to find pretty much anything you want year round. While late fall is not a prime time for the best tree selection (most receive their fresh stock in late winter and early spring and sell down throughout the growing season), these not uncommon trees should be readily available locally and without the costs and shock associated with shipping cross country....See MoreFig tree still has no leaves
