My Tulip Tree has Turned Black...Help!
Comments (4)It is the trunk and limbs only. We first noticed it last Summer. I'll try to take a pic of it. I have had some trouble getting pictures to post. Everything but the leaves turned black. (The leaves strangely enough seemed normal). We have no leaves yet this season because it is too soon. Thanks!...See MoreTulip Magnolia Help Needed

Comments (15)Hi, Ok I think you are right. I will weed the base of the tree. I will then mulch it and give it some good water. I will try to keep an eye on it. toronado3800, the weather out here has been really hot. It has been nice weather, I mean sunny. But now that you mention it, it has been awfully dry recently. I wish we had just planted this tree with a little more care. It's just that we have greenhouse and a garden shed and other areas that we are planting at the same time. I guess that tree got pushed aside. But now I am definitely going to help it out, I hope. So, About 10 feet away behind and to the left of the tree use to be an apple tree where water was a big problem. Water sat in the ground and almost killed the apple tree. I dug up the apple and I made it into a bonsai. The yard slopes upwards on the right side of the tree. Rain water would run down about 4 properties then settle just past the garden like soup. So we installed a rain drain in the ground by digging a large and long trench to revert the water around the garden into the far back of the yard and forcing the water to continue running off down the hill. When we planted the tree we made sure we planted it just away from the old apple tree spot, about 10 feet away. Now I guess that area dries out instead of holds water. When I took the pictures yesterday it looked dryer than normal. So now I will fix the planting sight and water the tree more. Wish me luck.

Comments (11)Thank you all. We did have warmer weather the past couple of days & I checked my beds where these tulips were to be planted (which has great loose soil & lots of potting soil in it). To my surprise the ground was not frozen and was loose & easy to work up. So, I just planted these numerous bulbs where their home would be and hope they survive. They probably will not bloom well this spring but maybe will do better the next year. I just didn't have the extra soil and didn't want to buy new potting soil to put these into pots, which would probably have been the right thing to do, but I'm just hoping this works. Come up, spring!!...See Morebrian poultney
