Can a neighbor throw tree branches into my yard if they are from my tree?
Q. I have a large maple tree in my yard and some of the branches hang over my neighbor's yard. Recent storms have caused small branches to fall into their yard. I caught the neighbor throwing the branches over the fence into my yard. They say it is my responsibility to pick up after my tree. I don't think they should dump every fallen branch into my yard. Who's right?

A. Check with your city council on what the local rules are. Regardless, this neighbor was rude to just toss the branches over. They should have checked the ordinance themselves, and if you're responsible, it would have been polite for them to inform you, then respectfully ask where they can leave your branches.

Why are the branches falling off my oak?
Q. Ever since I moved to this house that has two hundred year-old oaks, I constantly have to pick up branches falling off. They fall off in pieces and the pieces look like small insects have been eating the inside. Last year we had a big gypsy moth infestation and they practically ate all the leaves off, but I wasn't too mad because the mountains of leaves the trees left behind the year before were a HUGE job to remove. Since then the branches seem to be falling off at a faster rate and we have fewer leaves growing in. Are these old oaks dying or is this normal.

How to prevent branches from growing at the base of the crape myrtle tree?
Q. I would like to know if there is any way to prevent the branches from growing at the base of the tree. I have to cut them every 2 months. Is there anything I can do or put on the cut branches to prevent them from growing?? Any help will be greatly appreciate.
Asked by dennis68471 - Thu Nov 30 09:00:40 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your problem is that you are cutting them. When you cut them the buds around the cut site them sprout. Better to pull them of carefully at the trunk. You may still have to do this for some time but you will eventually beat it. Be careful when you use 'whipper snipers' and lawnmowers around the base of the tree they may be damaging the bark and encouraging this as well. Also if the tree is not doing so well the under graft may be trying to grow to compensate they are usually tougher than the actual top. If the tree is not doing well fertilize and water well regularly to help correct the problem.

A. the AF is the only branch that has a FF program that is remotely similar to the civilian world. All other Branches use Civilians on their bases, and the Navy's DC is more about keeping ships afloat by any means necessary, not just putting out fires. However, getting a slot is difficult at best, as it is is overmanned.

Get Isopropyl alcohol, dip ball or Q-tip into it and touch the white things. At this point the white will desinegrate on contact and reveal the actual bug ( which will very quickly die) the white stuff is actually hundreds of microscopic babies living on the surface of the adult.

What can the other branches do to override a Court decision?
Q. The Courts are definitely empowered in their policy making functions. As it says in Dynamics, the COnstitution was vague on the powers and limitations of the Courts. Therefore, the courts had the power to establish their two most important rules. The first was that the Federal Courts had the power to overrule the rulings of the State Courts. The other was that the Federal COurts also had the power to overrule the decisions of both the legislative and executive branches of government. This basically gives the federal courts power over all the different branches of government. So even though the Legislative branch by definition makes the laws and policies, the Courts can make their own laws and policies by overruling those made by Congress.

The other branches of government cannot directly interfere with the workings of the court.

How can I revive dead branches of a bonsai tree?
Q. About a year ago somewhat third part of its branches lost leaves and they still haven't grown again. I don't think the tree is dead because those branches that retained leaves still grow new ones, only those leafless don't... Could cutting off 'sick' branches help? P.S.

Asked by Aatami - Wed Jan 7 15:05:29 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can never revive a dead branch of any tree, bonsai or not. You test for actual deadness by bending the tip, and working down the branch bending to see if there is any green. If there isn't, the branch will snap off where bent, if there is, it will just bend (and snap back). You should, yes, prune any dead, of sick branching off to promote the overall health of the tree.

A. The "branch bashing" is all done in good fun. It's a form of pride in one's own branch. We all fight for the same cause, and when it comes right down to it, we're all brothers in arms. I was stationed on a Naval base for 1.5 years during my tour in Cairo. I was Army, and spent a lot of time hanging out with the marines, and was even made an "honorary petty officer" for the Navy. There's no true animosity between the branches (not for those that aren't total morons, anyway). As a side-note, while stationed on the Navy base, myself and my Sargent loved the quarterly "unit runs." We'd spend the night before eating a jar of kimchee each, and drinking a fifth of rum. Then in the morning run, we'd get to the head of the line in front… [cont.]

Q. It seems like different branches of the military seem to think that they are better than each Other. It doesn't make sense to me. Aren't you guys fighting for the same country... how come you cant get along?

How do I repair fruit trees that all the branches have bent over because of heavy fruit?
Q. I just moved into my parents old house that has been vacant for a couple of years. They have several fruit trees here but they have been uncared for a year or so. Many of the trees' branches are bent over because of the heaviness of the fruit. What can I do to help correct these trees for next year? There are 4 apple trees and a peach tree.

A. I would think the best option would be pruning the low hanging branches as soon as the trees lose their leaves. Just prune up to where you want the branches to hang. Removing the lower branches will alleviate a lot of the weight of the low hanging branches and the upper ones will spring back a great deal on their own.
