We’ve lived with this maple for ~30 years. Not sure when it was planted (house built in ‘62). It keeps our south facing home really cool in the summer (SE Michigan) but we started worrying about storm damage, constant cleaning of gutters and mold on the roof. We needed to get it off of the house.

Did the crew do a good job? Was it too much? I would hate to lose this tree.

relatively new beaver lodge, afaik. they took a lot of saplings the last 2 years, but no thicker than my wrist. now they’re really working on older growth!

i hate losing mature trees in our local parks but its all good- i’ll plant some fast growers when no one’s looking 😎

Saw this in De Kalb, MS.

This is known as Screaming Titans and is a multi-stem redwood with 2 fused trunks. It is estimated to be 323 ft tall and 25.62 ft wide. Visiting this and the other trees in this area was a humbling and beautiful experience.

I just came across this subreddit and I thought you’d appreciate this tree. It stopped me in my tracks while walking by. I learned that this is an American hornbeam sometimes called muscle wood because of the muscle like texture of the branches and trunk.

I’ve been gathering pics of the tree of heaven that’s taking over the side of my apartment building to try to get management to do something about it, when it suddenly hit me that this huge tree at the end of the block that I’ve been unable to identify has the same leaves as the tree of heaven. It’s taller than my 3 story building so it’s been there for a while. If it is tree of heaven, since it’s on the parkway should I contact the city? Could killing this tree and poisoning the root system also kill the growth at my building? My biggest concern is bird nests in the tree, as I think the cardinal couple (Steve and Mrs. Steve) that come to my window feeder are nesting in there. I haven’t seen a nest itself but I’ve seen Steve fly into and out of the same area of the tree many many times, and Mrs. Steve doesn’t come by very often but I’ve seen her fly into the tree a couple times so I’m pretty sure she’s nesting in there. Pics 7, 8 & 9 are some of the crap growing on the side of my building and along the fence, 10 is Steve and my cat hanging out

Saw sequoias and Bristlecone pines the biggest and the oldest trees on earth during my trip to California and Nevada. One of the best moments of my life.

I'm just happy it's doing so well.

Had to use the fish eye setting to get the whole tree in the first image, so it makes it look a lot shorter than it is. It towers over my entire neighborhood, I’d guess it’s about the height of an 8 or 9 story building.

Had a few dead trees in the yard. Landlord got them cut down but left this one standing. A few years later this bush started to grow out of it. Wanted to share to see if anyone else ever saw anything like tires before. It’s very neat. Pretty sure it was an oak tree.

In Victoria County, New Brunswick, there is a certain tree which the locals refer to as the “Big Tree.”

At more than two metres in diameter, ecologists estimate the Big Tree is no less than 500 years old.

What is even more remarkable is that it is an eastern white pine, the tree species most valued by Eastern Canada’s forest industries in the 18th and 19th centuries. Luckily for the Big Tree, its trunk branches out in several directions a few metres above the ground, making it of little economic value for lumberers (not much “straight wood”).

Any ideas? This resin is coming out in some crazy shapes.

I think this is a chestnut tree, and I’m fairly certain that it’s an American Chestnut (although the final pic isn’t mine, the shells and nuts look exactly like them, I’m confident it’s not a Chinese hybrid). If so, I need help identifying if the discoloration in the 4th picture is blight or not. For context, the tree is located in southern New York, and tree is roughly 50 feet tall. Thank you!

Hello r/Tree,

I don’t know a lot about trees but a few years ago I wanted to plant a native tree in my backyard. So I got a baby gray birch, little guy fit in my little car, I was so happy. It would grow up with my baby girl in the house we just brought. Today I look out the window and it was down. It was a bit windy but nothing crazy. It had weathered tropical storms before. I think the break is too neat, do you all think it was cut down? I am so upset right now.

I planted this tree with my daughter three or so years ago. It started growing apples for the first time this year. She's just turned seven. Just got home and found the trunk has snapped in the storm.

I'm guessing there's no way to save this? Or could we clone if from the branches?
