Is this a northern giant hornet? (Asian murder hornet) What do I do with it?

I am interested in planting dwarf apple trees specifically honeycrisp. I know I need a cross pollinator and I need a sunny location. I would love to know any resources available to help me make wise choices in selecting and caring for the apple trees. I would also like to know if you have a list of local nurseries as most of the apple trees I found are available to be shipped from out of state. I would like to know if this is a wise idea or if I'm causing more of a headache for the future. I have never had Apple trees. I understand they need to be pruned and shaped. I would like to know what sort of pests I need to be aware of and how to prevent them. We have pawpaw trees and some other smaller local fruit trees as well as berry bushes.

In the past years we have had Downy mildew kill out Cucumber and Melon plants. I heard there are plants that are resistant to this mold. Where can I buy them, and the names of these varities ?

Hello, In Dec 2020 we had a large oak taken down that was damaged and leaning toward the house. We left the stump and we've enjoyed it being there. But it's starting to rot. in the pictures you can see a pile of chips created last week, probably from a woodpecker finding some nice bugs inside. I'm trying to decide what to do -- is it too late to try to preserve it in place? Online articles say it might attract unwanted pests (termites etc.) Someone suggested burning it, or I could pay someone to bring in a stump grinder... Do you have any advice? Thank you.

Hello! I have a green Japanese maple tree that was approximately 6 feet tall and was planted 2 years ago. Initially, the plant thrived but this year died. I also have a red Japanese maple tree in the same area that died. My neighbors have a in ground pool that overflows periodically could that have contributed to the death of the tree? Both trees are protected from deer and rabbit. I have large black walnut trees in the area. Thank you!

Hello, I am looking for a short to medium sized plant for a shade location next to the sidewalk. It is a favorite place for dogs to urinate. I have tried a azalea, and columbine. Both plants have failed to thrive. Thank you
