    Trimming a large sugar maple branch in winter #890090

    Asked November 20, 2024, 2:19 PM EST

    Hello, my question is how detrimental would it be to trim a large limb on a sugar maple at a fence line right now in the winter or really anytime given the size of the limb? A small ADU house was built right at the lot line under our maple tree about two years ago this kind was already grown over the lot line. Now the owner of this house wants to cut a major limb (that was there when she bought the house) because she is afraid it will damage her house. What will this do to our tree? Especially cutting it now in the winter? I have attached a photos of where the neighbor wants to cut the tree.

    Orchard Help #890089

    Asked November 20, 2024, 1:53 PM EST

    Hello, I live in Mt, Airy, MD. I have a variety of trees including apple, peach, pear, plum, and cherry. They are 2 years old now give or take. I have noticed that there is some scabbing and curling on a lot of the leaves during the season, especially with the peach trees. I don't use any chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. I am curious what this is and what I can do about it? I wrote a question before, but not sure if a reply came back through or not. Thank you for your help.

    Tree planting #890085

    Asked November 20, 2024, 12:59 PM EST

    I ordered a Poplar and London Plane in August. Due to drought conditions the next couple of months, the nursery did not want to uproot the trees until rain fell, understandably. Is it too late into the fall now to plant a young tree or should I just wait until spring now I’m in the Fairfield area. Thank you.

    1. When? I will be planting garlic soon (late November, I know it is late). Should I be adding fertilizer now, or wait until early spring? 2. What? Best choices for organic-type fertilizers to use? What % N ? other considerations? (bone meal too?) 3. How much? 4. Exactly where to apply ? To holes where 'seed' is placed? Side dressing (how many inches away?)? To all soil within 3-4 inches of plantings? Other options ??

    moving a bird's nest #890076

    Asked November 20, 2024, 10:37 AM EST

    Hi - I'm pretty sure I've got an active bird's nest in my gutter. I have seen and heard the birds there, but have not climbed up to actually see the nest. I need to have my gutters cleaned but I don't want to disrupt the birds and leave them homeless. Any advice? I think they are sparrows or maybe starlings. Thanks! Kris

    Burning bush issue #890075

    Asked November 20, 2024, 10:15 AM EST

    The Burning bushes on the north and south sides of the lawn are doing well. The east and west sides of the lawn dried up and hardly any leaves turned red—the leaves curled and dried up well before the normal end of the season. The leaves have black spots on them. When asked if they were watered well all summer the individual said yes. Can you identify what the issue might be.
