Those buds on the tips make it look like thistle, but they don't make a thistle bloom, and the flowers are tiny, 1/4 inch across. I posted a second pic, but I don't see it now. Thanks. I posted the second pic below.

Anyone id this weed? In mid south georgia. Annual, in open areas, 3-4 ft tall, several stems from base, some have small yellow flower, leaves have teeth on edges. Leaves curly, kinda rough, leaves alternate on stem, stem has tiny hairs. Some have new stems growing from base of leaf. Thanks

My trees have been planted 1 and 2 years. Will it kill the tree if I remove all the branches now? They are oaks and chestnuts.

Will it harm or help the trees if I prune all the laterals in the tubes considering they've been planted one and two years?

Zone 8b, middle GA. Last year I planted some chinkapin oak and chinese chestnut in 5' tubes for the first time for me. I had previously caged everything. I did not prune any of them prior to tubing. Some have been planted one year, some two years. Now I read where it is best to prune off all...

Thanks. Mine have been in the ground 3.5 years. Hoping to get nuts next year or so, but drought down here has hurt the biggest ones. I hope they survive.

Jack, does this mean that these Dunstan Chestnut trees we've been buying from Walmart will not pollinate each other nor produce nuts? I'm confused.

Thanks for the replies.

If the soil sample analysis recommends zero potash is there any harm adding it to the plot anyway since most common fertilizers have it in the mix? Like triple 13 or triple 10. Thanks
