Landscaping Help, Aspen Trees Specifically

[sako55]

The fried look on the aspens is actually a leaf spot disease that is PIA to control. If you wanted to try, spray them 3-4 times in the spring while they are leafing out starting at bud break and once again every 7 days.

Pretty much screwed with the suckers. They may have come up from seed as well. Need to check if they are attached to larger roots.

Fertilize them Properly and keep them watered all year long. Yes this includes the winter time.

They have tons of issues. Most get aphids, mites, oyster shell scale, and are typically finished off by a fungal vasculare disease call cytospora. No cure for the fungus but you can treat the insects.

The trees are pretty short lived as well. They only average 10-15 years. A lot of times less.

DO NOT PLANT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I work for a tree sevice, and am a certified arborist blah blah blah

That's how aspen trees reproduce (thru suckers) and as the previous guy mentioned they are shitty trees.

A really long lived one lives about 20 years and then it's dead. It finally gets to be a useful and interesting size and then it dies.

Plant something else.
