Re: gardening question

I'd give them some time, but I think you're right, they'll probably have to come down. On another note, I owe you an apology Donna. A few years back you were bemoaning your weed situation and I recall replying that I have very few weeds. This year it's a totally different story. Mainly maple seedlings and clover, but a few others thrown in. I have spent days pulling the damn stuff, hauling out huge bags of it and I'm still not done.

LOL!  I must be babbling agin...

Any way to save these trees, especially the red maple? If the main
leader trunk is dead? If I cut it out, it would leave a large U shaped
gap, although the side branches would cover, but I am sure everything
would collect there and infect it anyway...


I was also wondering if this is common in tornado's/hurricanes senerios?
Or do I have other issues out there and it was just timing that caused
it?

although many others have more important issues in life with this crazy
weather.... I do have a gardening question.

After the tornado went thru here, two of my trees (smoke tree and red
maple) both lost their main center trunk. All the leaves dried up and
the next windstorm took them away. It doesn't appear to have been hit by
lightening (no burn marks) or damaged (no split marks, cracks).


I have no idea why this happened. Many of the side branches are fine,
but I do realize I have to take these trees down.....although I may give
them some time and see if it comes back.
