[@CONCERTMANchicago]

@@on4acres, worst neighbors ever have proven to be rehabbers and single home developers purchasing aging housing stock for cheap and totally gutting or straight demolishing. Forcing neighbors to prune it back is legal, but not if that means damaging or altering natural balance of an existing tree. This also means large Roots too, which most times ends up killing half side of tree. Then giving reason to have tree removed regardless. Then third-party contractors employing cheap laborers given a chainsaw, totally remove every properties existing tree regardless of species quality or historical age. Because freshly remodeled treeless properties sell today. Unfortunately seems developers are right. And only neighborhood trees remaing are those on public parkway's. While backyards that had been wooded over last 100 years has now made way for wall2wall patio cement and building additions. So once people convince leaders parkway trees should go. Just like animals in a zoo, We will visit trees in parks. But here's a tip Eric, enjoy what you see of the remaining large old trees in your neighborhood. Once those are gone, replacement trees won't live half as long. After that people will have forgotten how mature and beautiful trees used to get without any living examples around. But don't blame pollution or Urban environment. cut every bit of tree back to property line. Then they'll offer neighbors to pay for fatally damaged trees removal, then brag how much better new tree they stuck in neighbors mouth to shut them up will be compared to lesser original.

[@stevend776]

@@CONCERTMANchicago I haven't really seen this anywhere. People buy treeless suburban houses because they're all that's really available new/in safe areas, but houses with good trees sell for much more. A bigger issue is most suburban/urban areas planted trees that are pioneer trees for shade and quick growth. Modern codes often ban these trees for reasons such as life safety, home n auto safety, and they easily infiltrate waterlines n basements. You can skip the rest really, it's just boring forestry info explaining why you may see "healthy" looking, "old" trees being mowed down by home-buyers. The long and thick of it is these trees can easily wreck a home, infrastructure, and possibly life as they are all meant to live 50-100 years then die- so they grow rapidly and rot as quick. Perfect to get shade quickly until that whole, short lifespan kicks in. The rest is I spent too much time researching this stuff for classes and I'm not likely to get a job that uses it, so here I am. Red maple, Silver Maple, Bigleaf maple, poplar, Norwegian spruce, black spruce, blue spruce make up almost every single tree in my city's suburbs, with a smattering of other species in thickets/"ghost roads" (roads developers never built, becoming abandoned, that later turn into a PITA for land disputes, for three seasons I did land survey assistant and I have some stories) or backyards. These trees are meant to grow like weeds in a naturally disturbed area (such as flooded land drying out, fire/lightning strikes, etc) then die within 30-50 years, 100 years tops, and more mature species that prefer shade and rotten wood grow up underneath their shade, often using their rotting trunks for nutrition. The trees often rot entirely on the inside cavity- and their trunks grow large and criss-cross one another (trees do not grow uniformly, a 5" DABH tree in a woodland can be decades or centuries older than a 90" DABH suburban tree- find a 2x4 from a 1920s house and compare the grain with a modern 2x4 for an ex). This is perfect in natural settings to provide new homes for squirrels, chipmunks, owls, etc- all of whom may bring in seeds of species like chestnuts, walnuts, cherries, sugar maples, etc that'll grow at the base of the pioneer species. In nature, this all results in a happy, healthy transition from meadow-> brush -> new growth woods -> mature forest. The rapid growth of these species, and ability to tolerate and grow in almost any soil condition or pollution, made them extremely popular for developers. Plant a silver maple and you'll have a nice tree within a decade. Unlike elm, there's no imported disease killing it. It's brilliant if your a city whose elms all died, or if you're a developer who wants to convince people this area is a "real town", or if you want shade n attractive landscapes. Why not plant them in every yard when you're developing a new town? Unfortunately, developers have terrible foresight (see: Californian wildfires burning Paradise to ashes. Building an exburb poorly and without paying attention to local conditions results in grief, but the idiots wanted to sell houses with a "natural view", and "away from the hustle n bustle of the big city, but with a convenient highway nearby!") The problem is they grow wide and irregular in suburban/urban areas- rather than one trunk, they'll grow multiple, providing opportunity to rot earlier. And they can almost never live longer than 100 years. Silver has a famous tendency to drop limbs and rot out; spruce has shallow roots easily ripped out by a windstorm, and those are more common nowadays. It has been a century since the idiotic Levitown took hold over America, so all these trees are dying at once. If you buy a property with a tree that is sick and dying- these trees can weigh hundreds of tons. A single branch can destroy a house or car, and these guys drop a LOT. They may look healthy to you, and as if greedy people are killing them for no reason, but it is more likely the buyers don't want the insurance risk. After Rochester's first climate-change brought windstorm, we had to have tree services come from friggin' Montreal to dig us out from all the maples and spruces blown apart and torn out of the ground. One 15" branch came a few feet from my bedroom. Even a hickory at my Nan's got dragged out of the soil, rootball at all, and those guys are tough. Unfortunately, a lot of the replacement trees I see planted are similar species or planted in a crowded manner that will cause the exact same scenarios later on.

Sorry Roger, but I gotta ask why you recommend fertilizer when it can burn the roots.

After planting a few balled and burlap trees, I've realized that you're better off just planting container trees.

Containers are much easier to handle and plant and go through far less stress during planting.

For good screening what about a Cherry Blossom (Prunus), or a Rowan (Sorbus) tree? Both give good screening when in leaf. The Cheery Blossom is best in Spring (obviously!). The blossom varies in colour depending on the variety of Prunus (can be white, pale pink, or a more intense pink). While the Rowan looks great in Autumn (Fall) when its leaves turn red and it produces many berries for birds - these can vary in colour depending on the variety of Rowan (some are yellow, others red and some produce orange berries). If you have a sizeable garden and space/height are not so much of an issue then I'd go for a Rowan. If you have a smaller garden, and are worried about the tree getting too fall (more than 25ft high) then I'd for a Cherry Blossom. Cherry Blossom can grow tall, but generally they aren't as tall as Rowan trees. Both have their advantages, add something to a garden, and are well worth considering. However, if you need screening all year round then it's probably best to consider an evergreen tree. Other than Spruce, Pine or Larch - all of which can grow into towering monsters, the other types of evergreens to consider are Yew, and Holly. Word of caution with both of these trees though. Yew can sometimes produce a sap that is toxic, while Holly can over time shed a ton of dry very prickly leaves - not so good in summer when you're walking bare footed round the garden - I know from experience! A more 'exotic' evergreen would be something like a Cedar tree. But these can get huge, so best not to consider them unless you have a massive garden.

[@catsmeow8504]

Holly is a horrible tree. I have picked up literally thousands of those prickly leaves. It finally had leaves that were pale yellow and they all dropped off at once. I had the tree cut down. It seemed to be dying. Maybe I overpruned it. I would not recommend that tree to my worst enemy. I got jabbed and cut picking up those leaves and it's almost impossible to pick up the leaves without getting scratched or pricked.

[@robtyman4281]

@@catsmeow8504 it may be prickly and not allow anything (except good old bluebells) to grow underneath it, but it's not poisonous or invasive. There are worse trees to have in your garden - Robinia. Please NEVER get a Robinia tree as it grows large spikes on its trunk, is invasive and is also poisonous. Then there's Giant Hogweed, one of the most dangerous plants to have in any garden. It produces a sap which can burn the skin on contact with it, producing serious burns which can scar for life. The burns in turn make your skin ultra sensitive to sun shine causing it to further blister. It really is one of the unpleasant plants you can think of. Google it and you will see how awful it is. Holly by contrast just has small prickly leaves and that's it. Yes it sheds alot of leaves but it won't burn you!

@@YoRayBurger Make sure you find the flare, plant it (the flare) above grade and dig the whole 3-4 times wider than the container/ball. There's a few links in one of my videos that'll help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGTZpJrntONh7s

Unless it is a birch. Most Birch trees are multi-trunked. But they are extremely flexible.

[@sonofsarek]

1) Just dig up a 1-2 foot sapling from the side of the road or a forest for free. 2) water the ground before you put the dirt in (Make it mud). As the top moisture evaporates, the lower moisture will fill in. 3) spray it with deer/rabbit repellent 4) fertilize it. 5) the bigger the tree, the more dieback and trimming you will do after you plant it. Just get a small one. Done.

no cage around the root ball ? most people leave the burlap on, which will slow root growth and kill the tree !!

[@mark224]

That's not true. Removing all the burlap is actually more detrimental to the life of the tree. You can take the top layer of burlap off, but even in caged trees you should keep the bottom burlap on. The roots grow through the burlap and eventually the burlap decomposes.

[@leaf2180]

Yeah. I always take the burlap off, trees grow good without it.
