Hello my fellow tree enthusiasts! I’ve been growing an oak sapling for several months and its leaves are discolored and I’m not sure what the cause is. I think it gets enough water, light and nutrients. Would appreciate some advice if someone can spare some! P.s. where I live a certain bird often hides many acorns all over the city but forgets where they have stored them. Then on rooftops and balconies little oak saplings start growing from plant pots and containers. This sapling comes from such an acorn :)

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can give an idea of what this could be? And if there's a possibility it could be a type of phytophthora? For context....we have a very large maple tree approx 5m away from this tree, (not rooted on our land but it hangs over) which since last Summer has rapidly declined to the point it is now dead. We had an arboriculturist out who's opinion was that it was likely phytophthora and also had evidence of a secondary honey fungus infection. We are really struggling to get the ministry of defence to remove it and are now worried for the health of other plants in our garden including this one which was previously fine. And also the other dozens of trees in the area! Any opinions would be most welcome. Thanks, Alice

I have a tree in my front yard. It has lost bark along the south-facing side of the tree. It sounds like it is hollow in the center as well. See pictures. I've been wondering if this means the tree is dying or diseased? However, it is showing signs of life once again. All buds are forming. I'm wondering if I should take it down or if I keep it, what I can do to help it continue growing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all arborists, A Sycamore tree that is two-and-a-bit feet in width (I dont know how old this tree is), it seems to be dying. The leaves are spotted black, so am I right in thinking this is Anthracnose? There are many trunks stemming from the main one, typical of Sycamores. All trunks shooting off have bark that seems to have parted (there is not continuous bark going round the trunks). Many branches have fallen off, leaving an unclean cut, these bits of dead wood have holes in them- are these some sort of wood-borers that have gotten into the dead wood? I have cut off all of the new 'suckers', as well as some established ones. The spotted leaves were also touching a birch tree, I have now cut those branches down to stop spread of infection, and they are no longer touching one another. I have also cleared the ground by the bottom trunk of both trees: of dead leaves, twigs and moss etc. I want to save this tree. Is there any way that I can? I am in a woodland by the way in the South East. These spotted leaved Sycamores are spreading, only a few trees remain without these spots. Other trees, such as Birch and Oak are fine. But will they end up getting infected? I am in no way a tree surgeon, just a gardener who likes trees and knows a little bit about them. Thanks.

Hello! Would it at all be possible if people could fill out my dissertation survey which is looking at how private woodland owners and managers are dealing with ash dieback and the main influences regarding management plans for infected Ash. I would really appreciate it! Many thanks https://rau.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/chalara-survey
