ive converted them to jpg. 

 

Yes heic is apple, although im really not sure why sometimes they show as heic and others jpg. I always upload from my iphone and occassionally the web decides to display in heic format.

 

HEIC or JPEG is determined by the camera settings on an iPhone

 

From the main settings menu scroll down and select 'Camera'

You will then be presented with a list of options, the top two of which are video related and the third is Formats

Swipe/click on Formats and you get two options.  HEIC (High Efficiency) or Most Compatible (JPEG)

I think that your preferred option (ie selected) can be over-ridden depending on which video option is chosen

Not something I've seen before. Location would help.

Re mulching, you need to leave a gap between the mulch and tree stem, ie at least 5cm all around. It looks in one photo like the mulch is piled up around the trunk, might just look like that in the pic?

There are signs of boring insects . Maybe something to do with it ?

Determining the species first is key really...

Location is Bristol TN. Great suggestion on the mulch. I have moved the mulch since
