Birdseed Tree

Birds will flock to your house when they find out that you've put out a birdseed tree! After all, it features a place for them to land, and some of their favorite foods, all in one convenient place. What bird wouldn't want to visit you? And, since you can get a large bag of birdseed for just a few bucks you'll have enough food to feed them for a long time to come. You can still fill up your existing feeders but the fun of making a birdseed tree is more than you'll want to pass up. The birdseed trees are cute accents in your yard while they invite birds of all types. Choose a pot for setting the homemade trees; a heavy pot, like a clay pot, works great. Tightly wedge a piece of Styrofoam into the bottom of the pot. Choose some tree branches from the yard and use them to make the birdseed trees. The perfect branches are ones that aren't mere twigs, but ones that aren't huge in diameter. Tree limbs that are about an inch in diameter are good for making birdseed trees. Use a rag to roughly wipe the branches to make certain any loose bark and dirt are removed. Sturdy twigs can be left attached but snap off loose or tiny twigs. A disposable knife works great for applying peanut butter to the tree limbs. Spread creamy or chunky peanut butter all over the branch and protruding twigs. Use the whole jar, or throw away any that remains, or store it with a piece of tape over the lid, which states "for birdseed trees only". Read the full article

How to Remove Tree Stumps

If that old tree stump in your yard has become an eyesore and you're finally ready to do something about it, you've got several options. Removing tree stumps can be very expensive if done so professionally. On the other hand, removing stumps can be very hard work, if you decide to do it yourself. Before endeavoring to remove tree stumps, consider what type of tree stump needs to be removed, how many, and what the sizes of the stumps are. Knowing this information can help you determine the best and perhaps most economical way to remove stumps. Here are some options for removing tree stumps: Hire a Professional Tree Stump Removal Service You may want a professional to remove tree stumps in your yard if the tree stumps are large and/or have deep root systems. For example, a pine tree has large and very wide root systems while oaks have much deeper roots along with a tap root that grows directly down. Thus, removing a pine tree stump is much easier work than removing an oak tree stump. For trees like the oak, it may be necessary to pay someone to remove it. If you go this route, be sure and get plenty of quotes before selecting the final vendor. Manually Remove the Tree Stump If the tree stump is small, removing the stump may be a job you can do yourself. After cutting down the tree, use a spade to dig a trench around the perimeter of the stump. With the spade, turn it around backward and pry it against the stump in an effort to loosen it.

How to Care for a Potted Miniature Orange Tree

Do you know it is easy to care for a miniature orange tree? It doesn't matter if you started the orange tree from seed, or bought a plant already growing at the nursery. This post will help you to be successful in growing your orange tree and keep it looking beautiful. Container Depending on the size of your tree's roots find a container that is the one to two sizes bigger than the rootball . It is very important that the container has drainage holes at the bottom. You'll need the excess water needs to drain away or the roots will rot. Soil Fill the container a third full with potting soil. Try to find the one that is specifically formulated for growing citrus trees, because they like a soil that is slightly acidic. The proper pH balance for orange trees is 6 to 7. Planting Carefully remove the orange tree from the old container. Before you slap the roots into the new container, take time to examine them. If they are visible around the outside of the rootball and/or on the bottom, gently tease them away with your fingers. Roots that are left to grow this way will eventually choke your tree to death. Position the rootball in the center of the pot, making sure that the top of the rootball is at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the pot's rim. Fill in around the rootball with soil. Firm the soil as you fill in, but do not compact the soil or it will be hard. Bang the pot on the tabletop to settle the soil and collapse air pockets. Add more soil if needed. Read the full article

How to Prune a Maple Tree

Pruning garden and landscaping trees, like maple trees, is essential for maintaining the health of the tree. Proper care of the tree helps to ensure it will live a healthy life and continue growing successfully. Careful pruning of a maple tree, especially in its younger years, helps to ensure that the tree will be healthy and less prone to disease, pest problems or damage. Benefits of Maple Trees Maple trees are a commonly grown garden and landscaping tree that can be used as a shade tree, and to provide habitat for local birds. Adding trees to the garden also helps hold nutrients in the soil. Maple trees grow well especially in the northeastern portion of the United States, because they tolerate cold weather well. Proper care of maple trees ensures that they grow tall and remain healthy, adding beauty to the garden for years to come. When to Prune Maple Trees Prune maple trees in late winter, when the tree is not growing or producing leaves. The wounds will "bleed" or produce sap, but this is not harmful to the tree. The sap produced helps to close off the wound and limit the damage done. Pruning in winter means the tree will produce less sap, which reduces the energy the tree needs to spend healing the cut wounds. Pruning the tree in spring or summer can force the tree to spend resources producing sap, which can make it more susceptible to weakness and damage. Read the full article
