@DMc - you were correct in your initial assumption. I have moved dirt away from the collar to create wells in hopes to provide a protection from excess dirt building up on the trunk. That link you found is a pretty impressive bottle tree. Huge trunk comparatively speaking! I’ll message Nick to...

Post Arborist Inspection Update Howdy folks, Had Alec from Barrett Tree Experts out today. https://www.bartlett.com/staff/alec-edwards His first observation was the root collars are buried. The explanation was the trees were planted too low years ago and don’t bow out enough at the base of...

Ya. I guess this tree was highly popularized here in Arizona during the 70s due to its drought tolerance. I see them around town all the time (looking with particular interest, obviously). Some are lime in color, but most are darker green, like the south side of mine. Many are also planted over...

Sure. Tell me where to snap a pic and I'll garb a photo. Put a couple live/dead comparisons below.

Steve - Thanks for the factsheet and insight. I'll email Guy. DMc - Sounds like I have some digging to do! I'll also post some pics of the trunk bark below.

Wow. You guys are incredible. This is seriously interesting stuff. My mom is in Leavenworth and has access to the fort. Sounds like I need to make a visit!

Checked your registry link, Sean. Searched by Zip and didnt find anyone registered to the company I used previously. Good to know. I’ll start calling some folks on the list later this week.

TreeLooker’s inbox is full. However I did successfully PM ThatTreeGuy so hopefully he can add to the conversation. Thanks again for all of the assistance. Any additional insight here is greatly appreciated!! 8)

Haha, ya DMc. I guess their trees snuck into the first picture. You don’t want to see a full version of the butcher job that their “friend” did.

Thanks for the advice. In the past I’ve used https://www.arborcareaz.com. Their reviews were pretty awesome, but that’s neither here no there. I’ll go on a mission to find an expert I can trust. Get rid of the rings as in full then with dirt? Was worried the dirt was rotting the trunk. I do...

Thanks, again!! The wells I created are basically a 12” ring around the trunk down to the soil line so that the raised beds aren’t suffocating the trunk. I’ll definitely look into calling a few experts for an estimate. Two questions though. 1. Do I even bother with an estimate from the...

Hi Sean, thanks for the reply. Yes, the arborist pruned the trees. I wouldn’t say they were overly aggressive, but they definitely cleaned them up. I’ve read about the tree collar exposure. I put some wells around them down to the soil line in hopes the roots would get an oxygen boost. That...

Thanks, MB!!

Howdy folks, first time poster. Hope y'all can help. Grateful a community like this is available. I live In Tempe, Arizona. For those unfamiliar with the area, it’s hot here. Like super hot. Summer temperatures exceed 110* regularly. I purchased my home about three years ago and I am the...
