Some insight on tree health.
Q. I came across your gardening articles in the OC Register. I do have a question about my loquat tree, and I was wondering if you would be willing to help me identify the problem. I have attached several pictures to help.
I’m in Irvine and the loquat tree has been in the yard since around 2010. There are some other issues with the tree such as the bark splitting. I know at some point that the tree might need to be removed but it is hard to imagine that day when there nothing in that spot and providing some shade to the nearby plants.Bark splitting is often caused by sun damage. Intense sun exposure damages the bark and can cause the cambium to expand and split the wood.
Q. Our small palm seems to get enough water and we fed it a few weeks ago, multipurpose plant and lawn food, Greenall. The orange and yellow leaves look like it’s not healthy. It’s about 2 years old and was professionally planted.
