In 2019-2020 I started a batch of seeds, jack pine Pinus banksiana and lodge pole pine pinus contorta latifolia. Over the past few years the labels and markers have faded and I have no idea which is which. Anybody familiar with either who can help identify one or the other? One has smaller...

I collected this Euonymous burning bush in the spring of 2014. I did a drastic trunk chop and left one main leader and a few side branches. This year it grew strong and had awesome red fall color for the first time. The leaves all came off today and I cut back hard on the side branches to...

I recently noticed several leaves on my elm had lost color. Upon closer inspection I found vertical growths emerging from the tops of the leaves. Any idea what is causing this?
