Is this a parasite and is it killing my tree?
Comments (8)"I suppose it could have been absorbed by a root." Possible, but more likely to have resulted from vaporization/wind transfer. When Glyphosate hits dirt, it degrades very rapidly. When it blows onto green stems, it is often absorbed pretty well. Other than making sure your tree is not stressed (maintaining proper soil moisture, etc), about all you can do is sit and talk to it, telling it how much you love it and hope it gets better (-:...See MoreGardening problem
Comments (9)Wow. That's amazing. Check your HOA documents. When people purchase a home there is usually NOT a guaranteed 'right to a view', which this nutcase apparenty thinks she has. Your neighbor has already decided that she's going to handle it like a child. if you have the resources, have an attorney shoot off a 'cease and desist' letter to her. If not, you can do it yourself. Just tell her politely and firmly that on such and such date, you observed her trespassing on your property, and that if it happens again, you will notify the police. Do they issue trespass warnings and/or summonses? Hope so. Let her know also that you will be installing surveillance cameras (whether or not you actually do is none of her concern) to record further activity for law enforcement use. Shame on HER for not coming to you first in a neighborly way. Bottom line- they're YOUR trees to plant as you wish on YOUR property. PS We had a neighbor who threatened to notify the HOA when we planted viburnum as a green fence. We politely told him 'right to view' is not guaranteed,the edge had already been approved by HOA, and that the hedge would help w/ privacy issues for both of us. He backed off. Good luck. She should be grateful that she is not MY neighbor....See MoreYes, Tree Peonies Do Well in Pennsylvania
Comments (3)I have a pinkish yellow one that is quite old. It is a fully grown double petal that produces around 40 blooms every year. Though every winter people ask if I am going to cut down the dead bush in my yard it is made up for each spring when everyone tells me they wish they had one. Something about seeing a few dozen one pound plus blooms that you can smell from 50 feet away makes me wish i had a few hundred more....See MoreDoes my tree have a disease?
Comments (5)The picture provided isn't helpful in identifying them narrowly. But some of the wax scales are yucky red when squished, the color of their eggs. But the image looks more like the European Elm scale....a pest here, too. What I don't know is if those insects have the red eggs, too. Other scale have red eggs, too.....thinking of the Cottony Cushion scale, for example. Dan, the cochineal scale is common to North, Central, and South Americas and the indigenous people made their carmine dye by harvesting the insects. Harleen, look up European Elm Scale. You're the only one who has a good look at the insects. Then let us know!...See MoreSammers510
