    Black Gum Tree Berries / Seeds

    FYI interesting; at least to me: I have a Black Gum tree close to the house; lived here for 34 years. It’s the only known Gum on my 12-acer wooded property. This is the first year I have seen berries / seeds on the tree. I probably just wasn’t very observant. The tree is 14” DBH; and ~50’ high...

    Columnar Oak w/ Very Long Nut Acorn - not English Oak

    As a kid, back in 1960’s in Eastern Ohio, we had an unusual (to me) Oak Tree. It had a some-what columnar tree shape, and unusually long acorn nuts. (twice the length of normal oak nut) The acorns look like English Oak, but the tree form is very columnar, not spreading. I called it an “African...

    Root Diameter / Length ?

    Generally, I believe tree root diameter is similar to the branch “drip line” diameter. If one side of the tree branches are pruned back significantly over time, will that restrict the root diameter ?

    This is a 6” OD X 18” L Beech limb, cut live & bucked 6 months ago. Moderate Beech Leaf Disease. Cured outside w/ only w/ a top cover on woodpile (no side covers); in NE Ohio.
