Rye NY 10580Q.Maple Tree
I have a maple tree covering my yard (NY). It is on the neighbors property, but must of the limbs hang over my yard. Ever since April, it has been dropping seeds and samaras (helicopters) My patio is literally COVERED. Can't even bring food outside because of the contact barrage of seeds. When will it stop?? Will it continue throughout the summer months?? Thank you!! Thinking of calling a tree guy to help!

June 5, 2017A.Unfortunately the seeds are part of the process of your Maple Trees life cycle.
You can consult an Arborist to have the tree treated with hormones to curb the production of seeds.

Certified ExpertA.It would probably be better to just prune off the damaged part with a nice clean cut so it can heal over quickly without jagged edges that can leave it exposed to pests and diseases

Lansing, MIQ.verticillium wilt
I had a tree service come today to confirm my thoughts that my Autumn Maple had verticillium wilt. We dug the dirt from around the trunk and we're going to give it a week but they told me that it will probably have to be pull. They also said another "maple" could not be planted in the same hole. Could another type of tree be planted in the same hole or not?

June 19, 2017A.After removal of the tree and it's remaining roots, you could replace with a disease resistant tree, but not a Maple Tree.
Check with your County Extension Office for a list of trees.http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/verticillium_wilt_refresher
