I plan redoing my entire back yard finally and incorporating space for my trees and future trees. I want to cut down on all the trees I have to just have a few really good trees with potential. I have a small yard so I need to keep things light. Also I think if I just have a few trees to focus...

I’m never lucky enough!

Thanks for the input

so here in sunny southeast pa the temperature has been a balmy 15 degrees average. I have my Japanese maples outdoors in pots gathered together in a wooden box filled in with mulch but not completely covered. Any thoughts on their survival? I’ve used this method for two years so far and I’ve...

Thanks guys I will try leaving them outside. I wish this weather would figure itself out already! :mad:

Is anybody else dealing with fully leafed out trees in freezing weather. My maple is really starting to look unhealthy and I'm not sure what to do. I've essentially been keeping it indoors 95% of the time because the weather has yet to rise above 35. I don't think it's going to make it. The...

Thanks.
