T-Tree

Thanks Dan! We had a lotttt of rain here in July and August, so I had ruled that out… but maybe it is. The video shows just how much it’s shedding. It’s like conifer rain.

Hi.. did I ever get to tube bottom of this?

Hi. I hope someone can help. Without giving tok much info, my garden has been a sanctuary for the last few years, after/during a difficult time. The trees in my garden have been healthy for a number of years. All of a sudden they appear to be looking unhappy. Can anyone tell me if this (attached) Is this part of a normal life cycle of a mature conifer or should I be concerned? If it is of concern, aside from disease, is it possible for foul play to cause this? The change has been rapid (weeks). There is a valid reason for this question. If a problem, is there a quick and effective way to stop the issue? Thank you for reading!! IMG_7344.mov

Hi Bolthole! What can I say. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful answer. That’s so appreciated. How kind. I have to admit to feeling quite overwhelmed by the amount of work there is to do at the property and I’m also dealing with some sneaky/nefarious behaviour nearby. Your answer makes a lot of sense. There has been some professional advice, though not specifically about heave. I believe that the house predates the trees. One is taller than the house and the trunk is about 16 - 18 feet from the corner of the building. The garden is terraced with the tree being in a corner bed on the top terrace (patio). The patio is now very uneven throughout, with some big dips. I’m not sure the best course of action to prevent damage. Trees are great for keeping the air clean, dampening noise and generally look good, so ideally I wouldn’t take it out, but it does block a lot of light. I’d like to reduce it but I’m not sure how sensible that is. Currently other remedial work needs to be done and apparently I should wait 6 months after work on the trees. I need an project manager 💛 Thank you so much again for your reply.

Hi. I would be interested in hearing the answer to this question for someone in clay soil (East Midlands uk), who does have some cracking around door frames.
