I’m trying to identify this type of pine tree to know if the needles are safe to consume or not. Located in western Washington state. I believe it’s some type of true fir tree?

Noticed I have some American witch hazel trees down by my creek in Eastern Ohio, and one is blooming right now. Definitely unique and interesting trees in my opinion.

On the west coast of Scotland in a woodland area, mostly surrounded by pine trees on forestry land. Whatever isn’t a pine tree is usually native and left by the forestry commission, so it’s very unlikely this has been planted. Sorry I don’t have my photos - my dog didn’t care to stop for very long on our walk 😂

Picture of some of the interesting tree barks in my garden.

From upper left clockwise: Cypress, palm, oak and pine.

Disclaimer and PS: Although I was in the art framing business, those were "framed" using an app called PhotoGrid.

Advice Request - London, UK Health check for cherry blossom tree

1 Upvotes

We have a cherry blossom tree in our garden - don't know how old it is - it was here when we moved in twenty years ago. It is probably the best feature of our garden.

Over the last 1-2 years we've noticed some of of the small branches have stopped getting leaves. Also a thicker bit of branch fell off - we don't know the circumstances.

We don't know much about trees - should we be concerned about its health? Is this normal? Or a sign of a problem?

Other than the above it looks healthy - produces a lot of leaves and blossom.

All photos are from this year.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a feeling these beautiful mushrooms are a sign of a deeper issue with the tree. It’s right next to our house. Any way to save it? My husband says back in the day, his dad would’ve shoves asphalt in the hole. Maryland

What causes this type of growth? Is it like a tree tumor?
Edit: I have learned it’s a mutation called Witch’s Broom! Thank you, knowledgeable tree people!

I have two maple trees growing. The first tree has the two big limbs and the other is smaller and more stickly. Do these both look ok? Do they need some type of attention that I should take now since its fall. Thanks in advanced.

Discussion Make Leaves Glow Under UV Lights

39 Upvotes

Green leaves glow red. Red leaves glow green. Why? 🍁🧪

Alex Dainis extracted leaf pigments with isopropyl alcohol and hit them with UV light. Chlorophyll, freed from the leaf, can’t use the light for photosynthesis, so it glows red instead. Red leaves have lost most of their chlorophyll, revealing a faint green glow from other compounds.

Discussion Trying to Save a 300 Year old Tree

34 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

We are trying to gain support to fight the local power company which is destroying historic trees throughout our neighborhood.

Its located in a historic neighborhood (has a historic overlay) and I have reached out to historic preservation orgs as well as local tree conservation corps, but if anyone has some insight how we can gain support, please let me know.

We had an arborist come by and he deemed the tree was in fantastic health and likely here before America was founded - crazy right?!

A petition has been started and if anyone wants to sign or promote this please do. Thanks!

A massive old growth Karri tree, they are endemic to the Lower South West of Western Australia, this thing would be hundreds of years old.
Disappointing to see such a beautiful tree come to the end of it’s life.
