Not exactly. Verticillium is a soil-borne disease. Classically it invades the roots and works by invading the xylem/wood (so it proceeds upwards,...
I would simply cut it where it emerges from the ground and then, if it doesn't easily pull out, cut it at the other end. I would do this simply...
I would wait and see. If the top is dead, it will turn blackish and then whitish. Simply being dead is nothing to worry about. It is just...
That is the problem. It is largely guess-work based on little or no data. Sorry for your loss.
In spring, a piece of stem with one or more buds and no roots (commonly called a cutting) will break buds and begin to express leaves that will...
While the roots aren't pretty, I don't think they are so dense and/or gnarly enough to account for the death of the trees. I have intentionally...
Since we are on the subject, does it matter whether the tip of the scion is up or down (tip toward the root stock's roots)? I recall it being...
pseudomonas syringae comes to mind a possible cause
It is quite simple and bonsai noobs revel in doing it = a 'trunk chop'. One simply whacks off the trunk above the node from which you want...
I have some young Douglas maples (acer glabrum var. Douglasii) that i've been growing for a couple of years. A few weeks ago they were beginning...
@emery, there are glues that require moisture to cure --> Gorilla Glue is one branded version. I've used it on ceramic pots and it is quite strong...
I'm thinking that it would be good to put a couple of eyelets at roughly the level of the top of your first photo, @emery and hook them together...
They apply some fert (usually prilled) and simply cram all the pots together as closely as possible and let them run. The array is watered by an...
Indeed, @mobiledynamics, but I'm not trying to dictate anything. I am only offering some observations from my experiences with my maples (which...
These narrow angle forks can usually be eliminated (on young trees, anyway). In other words, one can engineer the structure of their (young)...
