Queen Victorian posted:Do you have a way to deliver slow drip deep waterings? We ended up buying some tree gators last year (water bags that wrap around the tree and have pinhole openings in the bottom). That might help. Also maybe pruning dead branches to encourage new growth? Not sure if that would help a tree in that much stress/the process of dying. Also might mess up shape/spread longer term if it does survive. If I were in your shoes I'd try to get them to send a new tree. As for planting window, we planted a bunch of trees (including an 8' Stella cherry) in early June and it was fine. I'm not an expert but I much prefer the current look of your tree. Looks healthier to me now that's its thinned a bit. I bet it was getting heavy fertilization at the nursery.

I'm in Oregon and our palm tree is one of the only sources of shade in our yard. It's nice but I think they're pretty slow growing.

Ok Comboomer posted:Are these spurges? I’m 90% certain based on the flowers(?) at the top but I’m not certain. Would love to add a phenotypically different euphorbia from my usual, and it’s “cup of coffee” cheap Those ain't flowers, those are pups. See the roots coming off some of them. Can't remember what that plant is but it might be a type of Kalanchoe.

Kenning posted:That is actually a matter of hot debate among succulent nerds. Strictly speaking there's no such thing as a correct pronunciation of botanical Latin, but that's no reason not to argue about it Yeah if you ask three biologists how to pronounce a latin name you're gonna get three different answers. It doesn't matter unless you can't even understand the word (which does happen pretty often).

I'm with you on the arborvitae, poo poo is everywhere and always looks scragglier than that spruce to my eye. That tree doesn't look bad to me but this is your home (your wife's) so do what makes you guys happy.

If you're gonna swap pots why not just put them in the ground? Same amount of disturbance. Everything I've had in pots has been waay happier in the ground.

I was gonna say rhodie since they seem to love the clay in the pnw. Hydrangea maybe? There are lots of fun kinds beyond the blue/purple puffballs.

I did wine caps but wasn't too crazy about them so haven't kept up on the maintenance. I just broke up the spawn and added 3 inches or so of wood chips on top. Think they were just free chips from the city after an ice storm. Put them in my shady side yard area. Watered occasionally during the summer but it's plenty wet here in western Oregon otherwise. Plenty of mushrooms but the slugs get to em pretty quick and I didn't love the texture. I'm spoiled by the foraged mushrooms around here though.

Not an expert but that looks like mechanical damage, any chance a mower or something hit it? Either way, not much you can do if it is a fungus and I think most insect related stuff is focused on prevention of infestation, not removing it. I'd just provide the tree with what it needs to be healthy generally, enough water and a balanced fertilizer.

I blasted like half the bark in a ring off a young loquat with my weed whacker and it just kept trucking on. At least your tree will most likely be fine!

Perry Mason Jar posted:Help me save this hosed up fig tree! I was very cross to learn that in the previous season my family had paid (!) someone to prune the tree to save me the labor and they... completely botched it. Well, first of all, they pruned it in the wrong month, which is a mistake I had also made (at someone else's direction but I should've checked on my own) except I didn't prune it so poorly that the main trunks didn't grow back! Ooof. I'd probably make my family buy me a new tree. I'm sure you can turn that into a productive fig tree but it will probably always look crazy. Not much of a centerpiece of a patio type of thing ... That sucks.
