Should we be concerned about this tree? #749432

Asked May 12, 2021, 9:49 AM EDT

We have this very large Maple tree in our backyard and a portion of the tree appears to be dropping bark and there are some abnormal growths. What can we do to maintain this tree and address any health issues it may have? Also if someone goes into the tree to trim dead branches is it safe to use cleats on their shoes?

Zoysia Compadre Yellowing #749424

Asked May 12, 2021, 9:27 AM EDT

Why is my Zoysia grass blades turning yellow/brown. My landscaper installed a super compadre sod last spring. In early fall many grass blades turned yellow/brown. Not entire sections like brown patch but two or three here and there. It is now doing the same this spring. My landscaper did a soil test and its ok. He has no idea. I can send pics.

Ilex glabra turning red #749423

Asked May 12, 2021, 9:02 AM EDT

I have an Ilex glabra, planted about two years ago, whose leaves haves started turning yellow, them red, and dropping. The plant is on a slope where the soil (clay and loam) is generally moist but well drained. It looked fine until the last few weeks. The only change to its environment that I can think of is that it’s getting more sun, since one neighbor cut down a nearby pine tree and another cut down a nearby silver maple. Could the extra sun exposure be causing a problem? Or something else?

What is available in Anchorage? #749420

Asked May 12, 2021, 6:34 AM EDT

Hi! My family and I are moving to Anchorage from overseas. I am not familiar with what is available up there. I see lots of CSAs, greenhouses, etc, which is fantastic. Does anyone happen to know if there are organically grown plants, starts, herbs, fruit trees/bushes available for purchase up there? Otherwise, I would need to bring them with me from the L48 when we drive up. Thanks for your help! Amber Clark
