We have a lot of buds on our tree but they fall off before they open. Do you know why this is happening?
I'm not sure of what kind of tree your referring to.
Generally speaking though buds are the most sensitive part of the plant or tree.
Stresses like watering issues, temperature fluctuations, to much fertilizer could all be reasons.
I have had my willow for 7 years and it has been lovely; however, over the last couple of weeks I noticed a section wilting and the leaves turning brown. This is now spreading rapidly. Please can you give me advice?

The tree seems to be losing its bark from the top down. It's at a house I'm trying to buy for my family. The wood is white where the bark is gone and when you rub the leaves, there is like a dust coating. I looked at it and felt like it was sick but the realtor said it just needed care. If this is a place I want to raise my family, I need to care about this tree too. I don't want it to die...Thank you.
Without know the type of tree, a clearer description or image it would be difficult to determine what may be wrong with the tree.
You could request that the homeowner have the tree checked by an Arborist to determine it's health, prior to purchase.

Four years ago my neighbor used your method of killing his tree by removing the limbs from his tree, cutting down the trunk and drilling holes into it, which he then filled with poison. It killed his tree. Here's the problem, it was one of three in a row, about 6 feet apart from each other. They grew together to be very tall over a 25 year period. What would the result be to the other two trees? Besides the fact that they look like two thirds of a very large tree...The two remaining trees are very sick and have been for about three years. They are shedding their bark and cracking. Is it likely it's from the poison my neighbor used?
It is is certainly possible that the herbicide used could have been spilled or over sprayed onto the other trees.
Inspect your trees for other signs of pest or disease. Do the leaves have holes, spots or discolorations?
Is the tree trunk oozing or show signs of a canker?

I have five large trees in the back garden. Recently, I can see that most of them are getting yellow leaves and I don't know what to do. Can you advise, please?
The yellowing of leaves can indicate watering issues; either too much or too little.
How has your weather been? Rainfall heavy or drought conditions?
Also you will need to examine the tree more closely. Yellowing of plant material can be signs of pests or disease. Examine the trunks, branches and leaves.
I can't make any determination from just this image.
You can take a leaf sample to your local County Extension Office for examination.
They also will have information on the weather effects on trees in your area.

I have several trees that have been treated for the EAB and a few that need to be taken down. The treated trees have not had dead wood removal in about seven years and they are littering my yard with broken branches each time we have a wind storm. Can I have the dead limbs removed from the healthy, treated trees without attracting more EAB? Thanks!
The trees have been treated within the last year and are doing well. The root of the question (no pun intended) is: Will cutting off dead limbs attract more Emerald Ash Borers because of the new cuts? I don't want to attract more to jeopardize the other neighborhood trees.
If your healthy trees have dead or damaged branches it is wise to have them inspected for Emerald Ash Bore.
You nearest County Extension Office may help you with this or refer you to a certified Arborist to check on the health of your trees.

Moist spots on trunk and branches of weeping cedar. Can you identify?
Cedar Apple Rust can cause soft wet areas of branches and trunks.
Inspect the tree for the tell tale galls.
