Hi, I have 2 apple trees that when trimmed traditionally don't have blossoms or fruit. I let a tree go without pruning for 2 years now and i see blossoms on the ends of new branches, not on the 1-3 year old spurs like most apple trees. Where can i get advise on how to trim this apple tree that seems to have blossoms on the end of last year's shoots? Thanks,

Our dogs will eat these seeds like candy if we let them. Can you tell us what they are?

I received 2 trees from the Rochester Hills "Canopy" program. This is a White Oak. I planted it on April 26 and it has been growing pretty well but some of the leaves have some spots on them and the leaves look very "pale." It is planted within a somewhat wooded area but it does receive at least 5 hours of direct sun per day. I have been watering it every other day if it doesn't rain (I haven't had to manually water it very much this spring/summer!) I have been spraying it with BAYER ADVANCED 3-IN-1 INSECT, DISEASE & MITE CONTROL, READY-TO-USE SPRAY but new leaves still have the spots on them. Do I need to be concerned about the condition of the leaves? What should I treat this condition with? Does in need fertilizer?

Can you identify this bee/hornet/wasp? Never seen anything like it before. It was large, fast, and aggressive. Not at all like our Minnesota wasps or hornets, neither in behavior nor appearance. This is the best still I was able to get from a six second video I took after observing this unfamiliar creature; I had to RUN from it as it quickly became aggressive after I got too close. It disappeared, at least momentarily, after using wasp spray foam.

I received 2 trees from the Rochester Hills "Canopy" program. This is a Black Cherry. I planted it on April 26 and it has been growing pretty well but some of the leaves have dark spots on them. I have been watering it every other day if it doesn't rain (I haven't had to manually water it very much this spring/summer!) I have been spraying it with BAYER ADVANCED 3-IN-1 INSECT, DISEASE & MITE CONTROL, READY-TO-USE SPRAY but new leaves still have the spots on them. Do I need to be concerned about the condition of the leaves? What should I treat this condition with?

I'm trying to figure our what kind of bugs these are. Beautiful and small, but are they pests? They are in the garden and I don't see many but would like to know what they are. Thanks.

Are these bugs supposed to be in Oregon?

i HAVE FALSE ACACIA INVADING MY YARD FROM A NEIGHBORING YARD. PLEASE ADVISE.

I was told my cucumber has bacterial wilt from cucumber beatles. There are two cucumbers on the vine, wondering what steps to take next. Do I need to get rid of the plant so it doesn't spread or do I try to let it grow to harvet the cucumbers? Thank you
