Do I nurture them back to health, or cut them down? |
Dear Tree People:
I found your e-mail address in an article about Tree Council’s spring course. I have a problem. I have two old (30+ years) dogwood trees in my front yard. Ever since the April snowstorm a few years ago, they have seemed to go “downhill”. After recent rain storm a big branch broke off one – turns out the whole fork of the trunk is dead. I would like advice about how to proceed – nurture them back to a healthier state, or cut them down. Can you suggest anything/anybody?
Thanks for your help.

How do you measure for Champion Trees? |
Dear Dr. Dendro:
I’m excited that RITree is looking for Champion Trees. I think I have one, a huge Sugar maple. My problem is I don’t know how to measure it and figure out its total points. Can you help me?

How do I fix ugly blotches on my maple leaves? |
Dear Dr. Dendro:
Big, black, ugly blotches appeared on my maple leaves in August. My neighbor says they are caused by pollution. Is he right? Can anything be done to fix this?

Leaves falling in mid-August? |
|
Dear Dr. Dendro:
It’s only mid-August but already the leaves on my Sugar maple that I planted in my back yard about a year ago are turning yellow and red in color. Some leaves are even falling from the tree. Are these things normal at this time, or should I be concerned about my tree? Denise S- Narragansett, RI |
