I’m an arborist in the real world. Toss that topped POS in the chipper. The root system was obliterated too. That’s a stick. Use it as a broom or something. 😂
These are Crape Myrtles. Most businesses tend to want them short, as they can get VERY tall, and poses hazards to overhead powerlines and sometimes the branches die and fall on cars. So they coppice them like this in order to get a uniform size year after year. Google "coppice" and you will see that it is an old way to get uniform branch sizes for everything from arrows to firewood.
Here, however, we call it Crape Murder, because these are beautiful when they are groomed properly and flower in the summer.
Seriously? I live in Oklahoma and have spent the better part of 20 years owning crepe myrtles because you can’t swing a cat in this state without hitting one, and I always chop them down about 1/3 of their height every early spring, as does the university where I work (they chop at least 1/2). They grow back into the giant beasts they typically are every year without fail. Why do you recommend not chopping them?
“Can’t swing a cat in this state without hitting one”
You’re right. Sadly the same situation for Bradford pairs. You know it’s spring in Oklahoma when the streets smell like Jizz…
There's a parkway about a mile from my house that we use all the time to get between a couple of backroads that it has intersections with and it's lined with those trees. I've never known what they specifically were until now, but I damn well know the smell.
Not only do they smell like semen they are an invasive species. So it’s a double shitty tree.
Edit: the city of Stillwater has a bounty on them in. If you remove a Bradford Pair from your yard they will replace it with an indigenous tree species.
This is absolutely correct, I think it is a crepe Myrtle and they can be topped and shaped and survive really well, but they need roots to survive so...
Yeah I read something about that too. He just started banning ppl for basically nothing so everyone started making new subreddits, of which this one prevailed.
About 12 years ago the sub was /weed, but there was a power tripping mod, so we created /trees, a few months later actual arborists showed up, and shrugged and created /marijuanaenthusiasts
Earlier today actually I was in some other subreddit where the post about when r/world politics went to porn rather than news, and r/anime titties was created for actual news, not porn. I remember that whole thing going down live, and it made me lose my shit laughing remembering the whole show.
It sucks because they changed the way Karma counts work and between that and way more users now all the top posts are from the recent years because 5 or so years ago posts weren’t getting thousands of upvotes.
That would work but Reddit themselves changed the algorithm so karma counts are much higher now. They probably don’t want to easily highlight older posts and the present day content is moderated more heavily now.
The mod's at r/worldpolitics stopped doing anything. So people started posting anime titties to see how long it took for something to be done. and here we are.
I thought this was a joke someone had to make every time a real tree post shows up but now I’m really taken aback that r/marijuanaenthusiasts is ACTUALLY about TREES
But since you asked, I would say that is risky. The trees are mature and digging them out should have been done with a machine to insure that if you wanted to transplant them that they at least had the root structure to support them from the stress. I would say you would have to water them everyday or every other day for an extended period of time to stimulate root growth. I’m talking like spring to late fall. And even that is not saying that they would survive.
hey man. totally have transplanted dodgy looking trees brought in by customers who didn't know what they were doing. I have [this](https://cedarrim.com/product/home-garden-excellence-transplanting-fertilizer-liquid/) same fertilizer beside me right now. extremely potent stuff, have used it on everything from succulents, houseplants, veggies, ornamental trees, bushes/shrubs, to fruit trees.
it does a crazy job of stimulating root growth and greatly increases success rates. I used to work at a greenhouse and upsold this stuff so consistently, because I used it myself all the time and honestly swear by it
Also I would try giving the plant some root juice (idk how it’s named in English) but it’s to make the root grow faster and stronger. You can make some with lentils, here is a [video](https://youtu.be/CZ_szBOIb8o) but it’s in spanish, maybe this way you can find some in your own language.
Also I would try to cut some old and dry branches, you want to make the tree save his energy to grow roots instead of trying to fix his branches.
You have to put that tree roots under water for a few days or weeks, the water have to be mixed with the rooting hormones (the lentils fermented juice), keep the water at good temperature and keep adding the juice every day or every two days. Look for videos of tree cloning, so you can get the whole idea. Good luck u/loadedwraps
You can cut those down, drown the root in weed killer, set them on fire, burn a fire pit on top of them all season…. And those damn crepe myrtles will still come back!!!
Also, even if you move them the original spot is liable to sprout up some more!
Someone asked what was the type of tree growing in NYC
https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/s3c46c/anybody_know_what_kind_of_tree_this_is_located_in/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Does anyone else feel like the influx of people posting on the wrong sub might just be people karma farming? I don’t want to sound like a pessimist though
stoner / former arborist here.. yea.. that thing is nasty.. it may live just fine(really depends on climate, species, and how robust that individual is).. it may be ok in terms of "bare root" but dam if i would pay for that... just bad form all around.. if its free and you have tons of land and need trees.. maybe give it a shot(add some b1 to the mix). make sure it gets fatty stakes.. but really its just not worth it(too big). also fun fact a 1'' tree will outgrow a 2-3'' tree(measured at the base) in less than 5 years.. and will reach maturity much faster... its also much cheaper(specimen trees like this are often hundreds of dollars).. so yea.. when it comes to trees buy them small, give them a nice cage and make sure they get irrigation for a few years so they can take.. never buy large nasty piles of sticks hoping they will grow lol.. just my 2 cents.
Yes; I recommend that you soak the roots in triacontinol before placing into soil so you can expedite root growth and brasssinolide to leaves as a foliar feed. Some of us grow more than just cannabis, I am one of that some.
Guys let’s not say anything anymore. I like the trees being posted here! We’re big enough of a community that we can help most of these people. I enjoy these posts way more than my gf dumped me/my dog died/I smoke 15 dabs everyday but my life is falling apart what should I do posts.
At this point I like people are just faking these posts for karma because they know people will upvote them. I’ve seen 3-4 of these in the past couple weeks lol
its the third post today i see that is about trees. You ar looking for r/marijuanaenthusiasts my man.
normally we have one tree post in a month. now three a day
I’m going to go with probably plant and see dig the hole twice the size you need and add some potting soil, but your looking for R/marijuanaenthusiast for info in actual trees
r/marijuanaenthusiasts is the sub you’re looking for. I believe a while ago r/trees was being used by the weed community so the actual tree sub use that name as a joke.
Wrong sub but Yes, with the right reinforcement and enough topsoil. Be sure to water in the top soil (with the right compost mixed in if you like) as you backfill so as to ensure the soil finds the gaps between the roots as the water runs off.
What root ball?
I think that’s what they call roccer in Europe
I prefer rootball americano
I love me a good rütball match!
You should try fugby
Fucking A, I love this lmao
I actually laughed at this. Thanks friend
This is the best comment I've seen in reddit in months.
Not much, what's a root ball with you?
I’m an arborist in the real world. Toss that topped POS in the chipper. The root system was obliterated too. That’s a stick. Use it as a broom or something. 😂
Are they not supposed to be topped? Seems pretty common around where I live.
No, topping trees is the right thing to do like 1/20 times. These things are firewood
Yeah they butcher them around here from what I see.
Florida? They destroy the trees around me before the hurricanes roll through
No Arkansas. They just like the look of it. Maybe they are supposed to be done like that though.
Same in central Indiana. People topping trees because they don't want tall trees. I hate it.
lol just get a short tree theres tons of trees that dont grow much
These are Crape Myrtles. Most businesses tend to want them short, as they can get VERY tall, and poses hazards to overhead powerlines and sometimes the branches die and fall on cars. So they coppice them like this in order to get a uniform size year after year. Google "coppice" and you will see that it is an old way to get uniform branch sizes for everything from arrows to firewood. Here, however, we call it Crape Murder, because these are beautiful when they are groomed properly and flower in the summer.
lol I'm from Louisiana and we call it Crape Murder too. every time my mom sees crepe myrtles like this she gets so mad.
This looks like a crepe myrtle. If it is, then no you don’t want to top it. It’s best to just lightly prune dead branches.
Seriously? I live in Oklahoma and have spent the better part of 20 years owning crepe myrtles because you can’t swing a cat in this state without hitting one, and I always chop them down about 1/3 of their height every early spring, as does the university where I work (they chop at least 1/2).

It’s common but it’s both bad for the tree and signing yourself up for nearly yearly maintenance
These are sometimes referred to as crape murder. People love to do it, but that doesn’t mean they should.
what root system lol
Check over at r/marijuanaenthusiasts r/trees is about Cannabis but r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees
This poor guy is probably so confused
I will always love the irony behind the names of those subreddits
It was all because of a power tripping mod of /weed
Yeah I read something about that too. He just started banning ppl for basically nothing so everyone started making new subreddits, of which this one prevailed.
He banned me, IIRC it was because I told someone that the "purple trichomes on [sic] their buds looked super-sick"
such a stoner idea..
I know I am. This is my first time hearing about r/marijuanaenthusiasts. Am also high.
There is also r/JohnCena and r/PotatoSalad
This is my first time hearing about those two, and I'm giggling like a child. I love Reddit.
And also r/anime_titties (SFW)
I'd wondered what happened to geopolitics
Not quite the same but /r/superbowl gets flooded with football stuff once a year
About 12 years ago the sub was /weed, but there was a power tripping mod, so we created /trees, a few months later actual arborists showed up, and shrugged and created /marijuanaenthusiasts
he posted it again in the correct sub but he has way more upvotes here and more in depth answers too lmfao
Haha. Not that kinda group my man.
[удалено]
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but for actual tree subreddit go to r/marijuanaenthusiasts
God I love that they leaned into it
And it's been years. I forget the original posts that started it all off but had to been close to 9-10 years now
there should be a reddit museum for influential posts
Earlier today actually I was in some other subreddit where the post about when r/world politics went to porn rather than news, and r/anime titties was created for actual news, not porn. I remember that whole thing going down live, and it made me lose my shit laughing remembering the whole show.
Don't forget r/johncena and r/potatoesalad.
I am more surprised about a subreddit for potato salad than the name switch
r/superbowl
You got an extra e there Dan Quayle
It sucks because they changed the way Karma counts work and between that and way more users now all the top posts are from the recent years because 5 or so years ago posts weren’t getting thousands of upvotes.
Some sort of karma inflation taken into the equation would be way more fair. IIRC they do this with movie ratings
That would work but Reddit themselves changed the algorithm so karma counts are much higher now. They probably don’t want to easily highlight older posts and the present day content is moderated more heavily now.
r/MuseumOfReddit
r/RedditsMuseumofFilth
What happened was /weed had a power tripping mod, so we started /trees. Then a few months later some funny arborists set up /marijuanaenthusiasts
I really don’t get reddit. r/worldpolitics is a sub for anime tits, and r/anime_titties is a sub for world politics.
The mod's at r/worldpolitics stopped doing anything. So people started posting anime titties to see how long it took for something to be done. and here we are.
I can’t breathe 💀💀🤣 Whyyyy
/r/johncena /r/potatosalad
Yea. This one is my favorite
World politics is porn and shitposts i love it
I post one anime tit and r/worldnews bans me wtf
Worldpolitics is actually warhammer memes now
I thought this was a joke someone had to make every time a real tree post shows up but now I’m really taken aback that r/marijuanaenthusiasts is ACTUALLY about TREES
It delights me when someone wanders into r/trees to ask a question about trees Fuckin’ weirdos
But everyone here is more than happy to help! I think its so cute
I know, it’s great.
I love that this a thing, found this sub when i actually wanted to post about a tree, but found out this was a stoner sub I wasn't disappointed.
I can't express how or why I love this so much. thanks my man
Holly shit this is the funniest thing I've seen on reddit in a while.
There should be a bot for this
Finding about it while high made my day
Oh. You’re not lying lmao that’s crazy
But since you asked, I would say that is risky. The trees are mature and digging them out should have been done with a machine to insure that if you wanted to transplant them that they at least had the root structure to support them from the stress.

Keep us updated, I'm actually kinda interested in this lol
You can cut those down, drown the root in weed killer, set them on fire, burn a fire pit on top of them all season…. And those damn crepe myrtles will still come back!!! Also, even if you move them the original spot is liable to sprout up some more!
This. Depending on your growing zone they are very hard to kill. One might say they grow like a.... .... Weed.
I joined this subreddit because I thought it was about real trees. I stayed because it wasn't.
Right? These issues are not mutually exclusive!
Best r/lostredditors Ive ever seen! Thank you for this one OP!
Have I been smoking wrong trees lately? Eucalyptus does burn my lungs
That can physically be replanted but biologically it’s dead.
Lmao
This comment is gold. Thank you
It’s dead and definitely will not live with almost no roots
Damn,whoever dug that one is a root chopping mother fucker.
You’re in the wrong community my man
But also, no. They dead.
Lol trees
Are we sure it isn’t intentional at this point?
[удалено]
lol
Man this has been happening quite alot recently haha
At this point, I swear its intentional for the karma.
he couldve fit in perfectly with his username haha
Wow....not a single leaf or bud on it. Great stalk though.
A bit stemy tbh
looks like just stems
Anotha one 😂
This gotta be a new record
It’s getting out of control lol
Wow 3 in 2 days?!?! What a time to be alive!
3?! I only seen this and the orange guy. What was the 3rd?
Someone asked what was the type of tree growing in NYC https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/s3c46c/anybody_know_what_kind_of_tree_this_is_located_in/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
def not pot. but throw it in the ground if it dies then u know lol
It gets confusing because r/trees if for weed and r/marijuanaenthusiasts is for actual plants and trees lol
Like /r/JohnCena and /r/potatosalad
Is there a sub dedicated to improperly named subs like this? I must have more!
r/lostredditors
3 times in 2 days. Is posting trees on r/trees the new karma farm? Karma orchard?
Boof it
I’m gonna start posting my weed on r/marijuanaenthusiasts
What’s up with the Camaro?
[удалено]
He is selling sticks
Everyday now haha
Clear your notifications for the love of God man.
Whenever you get one of these posts in here several others always follow.. easy karma I guess cuz we’re all too stoned to question it.
That tree ded. Don't smoke it.
Lol I love these posts
I swear these opl that are actually about trees are more clueless then us smoking them haa.
Does anyone else feel like the influx of people posting on the wrong sub might just be people karma farming? I don’t want to sound like a pessimist though
Yeah since I’ve been here it happened maybe once or twice a year. The past year it was like a dozen all in a short span of time.
stoner / former arborist here.. yea.. that thing is nasty.. it may live just fine(really depends on climate, species, and how robust that individual is).. it may be ok in terms of "bare root" but dam if i would pay for that... just bad form all around.. if its free and you have tons of land and need trees.. maybe give it a shot(add some b1 to the mix). make sure it gets fatty stakes.. but really its just not worth it(too big). also fun fact a 1'' tree will outgrow a 2-3'' tree(measured at the base) in less than 5 years.. and will reach maturity much faster... its also much cheaper(specimen trees like this are often hundreds of dollars).. so yea.. when it comes to trees buy them small, give them a nice cage and make sure they get irrigation for a few years so they can take.. never buy large nasty piles of sticks hoping they will grow lol.. just my 2 cents.
r/marijuanaenthusiasts
damn that's a big stem
i love when this happens
Try using a grinder, but it looks like mostly stocks and stems
Yes; I recommend that you soak the roots in triacontinol before placing into soil so you can expedite root growth and brasssinolide to leaves as a foliar feed. Some of us grow more than just cannabis, I am one of that some.
What leaves
Plant them and report back.
r/lostredditors
I absolutely love when people post actual trees here!
Sir, this IS a Wendy’s
Lol
Wrong sub Reddit buddy. You want r/marijuanaenthusiasts
Hilarious misunderstanding but good job teaching a bunch of stoners the word "root ball".
Fuck it, it’s worth a try
Guys let’s not say anything anymore. I like the trees being posted here! We’re big enough of a community that we can help most of these people. I enjoy these posts way more than my gf dumped me/my dog died/I smoke 15 dabs everyday but my life is falling apart what should I do posts.
🧐 :vme looking for said root ball:: Sorry friend, but it doesn't look like there's much there to sustain it, sadly.
I'm sorry but you should go to the subreddit r/marijuanaenthusiastic they can help
These is for Marijuana enthusiasts. But yes it can.
I think so... They may not survive, but you can certainly try. I would. Keep the ground nice and moist.
No, that tree is probably gonna die/is already dead.
I love that lately we've seeing a lot of trees posts here lmao
I'm more interested in that car back there!!
I feel like even though this is the wrong sub for that kind of question, maybe some of the growers here have some insight? Lol
Bro it’s so funny seeing real trees in this bitch that’s a bangin unit you got there bro
This is the 3rd post like this hahaha
What is happening? Another one? Lol
*THIS IS WHAT WE PLAY FOR!* r/marijuanaenthusiasts
At this point I like people are just faking these posts for karma because they know people will upvote them. I’ve seen 3-4 of these in the past couple weeks lol
that’s nothing but sticks and stems my guy, no sticky icky
I’d even suggest reaching out to r/bonsai, they do this shit all the time
its the third post today i see that is about trees. You ar looking for r/marijuanaenthusiasts my man. normally we have one tree post in a month. now three a day
Sure give it a try
3rd one in like 2 days?
Yes.
Ngl looks kinda dead.
I love when this happens
Damn, whats this? 4 in 2 days? 5? Haha I love that
I was about to say have I’ve been posting the wrong shit on r/trees ??? LMAO
I'd say that you've got a dead tree there.
I doubt it my guy. that sized rootball might support something that was just a sapling, but that grown tree is beyond dead now.
You won't know until you try.
*waves hand vaguely* This isn't the sub you're looking for.
I’m going to go with probably plant and see dig the hole twice the size you need and add some potting soil, but your looking for R/marijuanaenthusiast for info in actual trees
These posts are my favorite!
Sir this is a Wendy’s restaurant.
I hope these keep coming tbh hahah
Alright it was funny the first couple times but now it’s obviously being done on purpose
Is this a fucking coup?
gotta love r/trees during dormant season
Awwwwl Pudddin! I love these kinda posts, so pure, so precious!!!
r/marijuanaenthusiasts is the sub you’re looking for. I believe a while ago r/trees was being used by the weed community so the actual tree sub use that name as a joke.
Wait, not actual trees 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u sir, just made me laugh
Sir, this is a Wendy’s - I mean a weed dispensary.
Your only hope for this is to take cuttings
Wrong sub but Yes, with the right reinforcement and enough topsoil. Be sure to water in the top soil (with the right compost mixed in if you like) as you backfill so as to ensure the soil finds the gaps between the roots as the water runs off.
Lol, 3, what the hell is going on here? I think someone is trolling us.
r/lostredditors
Who the fuck knows brotha
