I’ve seen a number of 6” to 7” trees rubbed, but that’s usually the top end. I have an 8” maple rubbed up but it’s in a travel corridor for big bucks.
4” trees are prime for rubbing.
My driveway was lined with 5-6” maples in 2013 and I protected them for years. In the end I had 3 4” mesh deer guards on each tree cable tied together. I took them off when trees were 11-12” and nothing has bothered them for 2 years. I don’t suspect that they will. Does bed in my driveway grass strips all the time.

What would cause a Chickasaw to abruptly decline? This is Guthrie received from FL and potted 2 weeks ago, was doing great and 2 days ago started to droop, and today all the leaves look dead. Some sort of delayed transplant shock?

Are green onions from the store bunching onions or immature bulb onions? A search on line gives you both answers.
@Eme If it had leaves when you transplanted it I would go with shock. Otherwise there is a host of possibilities from water issues to a lack of roots on a bare root.
I’ve planted the green onions from the store and they don’t form bulbs even after a year, so mine are likely bunching or a similar species

sometimes a bit of both, I grow white lisbon which sort of forms small bulbs, but it spreads by bunching. line can be a bit blurry i think? or maybe not and i just dont understand what bulbing is

Thank you. It was un potted but not bareroot and did have leaves.
I think they’re bunching. I plant them annually and 1 turns into 4-5 and they never bulb. I divide an spread them around and let them bloom year 2 for the bees.
if you want green and smaller bulbing onions and never want to buy onions again plant egyptian walking onions. in a few years you will be up to your ears in onions. they arent as heavy feeders as commercial onions and will grow just about everywhere.

I have several bags of cherries picked and frozen that have some worms in them. Should I throw them all out or is there a way to safely process these?
Thanks!

Have you fertilized it recently? Fertilizer shock (too much or too strong) will do that.
i mean if theyre just for you pretty sure the worms are safe to eat they just affect texture. but so does freezing. so i guess for personal use you can probably just use it however if youre comfortable with it. If its just a few worms id probably do it myself, maybe juice.

Thanks for the idea. No fertilizer just potted.
Worms hang out next to the seed. Pitting them may remove most of them. Worth a try to keep from wasting them.
I’m sure I’ve eaten plenty of worms, but I’d still like to not know I’m eating them.

I was fishing in my pond this evening and noticed some water hyacinth floating along the bank. It’s getting in the way a bit. I was wondering what you think about using it as chop and drop around my trees and potted plants.

Tried to start doing some strawberries in a greenstalk and they don’t seem to love it. They were doing well then suddenly started falling. Never really had this issue in beds or the ground.

Water hyacinth is invasive outside tropical and sub-tropical South America, so — yeah — it’s better on dry land than in your pond.

ive never had any luck growing in those towers. too hard to keep up with the watering and the roots get too hot, killing the plants.

Can anyone confirm if this is pear, quince, or something else entirely? I planted it several years ago, the top died back, and I lost the tag. Thanks!
My dad gave me some. what he called bunching onions in 2016. They don’t really form a bulb they are still in the same pot . I just pullout what I want to eat. Cut off the root and Stick the roots back in always have a pot of onions..
