This might sound like a silly question but i am a novice at this. When you water trees, do you water from trunk to drip line or just around drip line?

I live in a dry area for sure but the last couple months we’ve had rain at least once a week so I thought that would be enough. I have not fertilized though so will do that. Any ideas on how much fertilizer? Thanks for the info!

Can you tree experts tell me first what is causing the black spots and disease on my trees and second why three of my trees have yellowish golden leaves and my fourth one has dark green leaves?

I was in my elevated box blind with about a 10 mph wind. I opened a downwind window to see if the does at my neighbors feeder 500 yds away could smell me. It only took about 5-10 seconds and they bolted like they were on fire. I now keep all windows closed until I get ready to shoot.

I have persimmon, white oak and red oak trees that are 2-3 years old. How often and how much should I water them when there is very little rain (maybe 1/4” here or 1/2” there)? Is there a difference in winter versus summer in amount or frequency? Thanks in advance!

Appreciate the information!

I guess I’m in the 15%. Ha! I’ve done soil tests to get my PH. It varies from 7.5-8.0. I am planting white and red oak as well as the Osage that are supposed to do ok in my soil. I am adding sulphur a little at a time to lower the PH. But can’t afford to do that indefinitely. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for all the replies. I’ll start planting them this week.

With my high ph soil (7.5) I don’t have a lot of options.

I gave red oak and Osage orange trees in containers. When should I plant them in the ground? Should I do it now or wait till they bloom? Do freezing temps hurt after I plant? I’m really a novice at this. Thanks in advance!!

One question, do these affect wildlife that would drink the water if you sprayed when pond had water in it?

Thank you!! I’ll give those a try.

I have tried to kill the weeds in the attached picture with glysophate (roundup) twice and it never phased them. Does anyone know what will kill these things? Trying to do so while pond is dried up.

I have same questions as Poorsand.

How do I prevent grasshoppers from eating my trees?? I’ve tried the home recipes, insecticide, netting( they chewed through it). Is there any prevention?
