May 31, 2018Q.Holes in my yard.
I'm finding holes in my yard close to a mimosa tree and close to a large cedar/fir. Some are barely dug in and others are deeper. Most are about the diameter of a silver dollar and one I found was large enough to stick the toe of my shoe in. Nowhere else in the yard is bothered except these two places. I'm thinking chipmunks but not sure. How can I determine what is doing the digging and how can I stop them. Thanks for any help.

May 31, 2018A.I actually know that some gardeners set up wildlife cameras to make an id of pests bothering a garden.
It very well could be Chipmunks or Gophers.
Snakes can also leave holes of this size in the soil.
You can try baiting live traps near the base of the tree.

EdmontonQ.Cedar Trees
We planted 4 cedars approximately a month ago and they have recently started to turn black near the base. We did a little research and it says it could be attributed to dog urine. We do own two dogs. Just curious if you could tell us what it is and how to resolve to problem. Is there a solution?

June 8, 2018A.I don't think this is an issue with your dogs.
It actually appears to be a mold issue. Perhaps overwatering or poorly draining soil which could cause root rot.
Check the soil moisture levels.

June 23, 2018A.True cedars, of the genus Cedrus, there are none that get that tall as far as I know. Only Cedrus deodara is close, but only in it's native forest habitat in the Western Himalayas.
But there are some tall tree species with the common name cedar.
Western red cedar

45432Q.Can I get help identifying this tree?
It is fairly large tree with branches from ground to top of tree. Similar in shape to pine or fire. Leaves are feathery or frond like.

August 7, 2018A.First guess is a cedar or cypress or arborvitae. But we may be able to provide a better identification if you post some photos, entire tree, close up of foliage, seeds/ cones and photo of the bark on the trunk of the tree would be helpful.

September 23, 2018A.The tree appears to be a Deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara). They are a very large growing tree:

October 1, 2018Q.Cedar tree with browning tops
Attached are 4 photos of my beloved cedar deodor tree. I spent $1,000 to "save it" by having the top half cut off. Now the needles keep turning brown lower and lower. There do not seem to be any bugs involved. We have used nematodes to get rid of slugs/grubs. My heartfelt thanks for your help. Gloria Stanley

October 1, 2018A.This is likely a fungus and may be difficult to reverse or control.
This article has some treatment specifics that may help.
