This is the opposite of retro. A new release.

Not screwed at all. Learned a lot of useful knots as an arborist.

Second the Oracle games. Two thumbs up.

Definitely The Binding of Isaac Rebirth. ~800 hours.

Rule 1

Did they say which night light they tested?

The same principles should apply to any woody perennial plant, but maybe not exactly. You still don’t want them planted too deep, but they might not have a visible root flare. Since they are smaller, faster growing plants than trees I think they adapt better to inconveniences. But don’t quote me on that. They are technically covered by arboriculture but I do 95% of my work with trees. Vines and brambles aren’t really my area of expertise.

Not at all. You can gently excavate down until the root flare is exposed in most cases. It is, however, a red flag for how the tree has been taken care of and if you can find a better looking one it’s easier to just go with that one.

Sometimes we get really lucky and a new tree really loves where it’s planted. Love to see it.

Sure. It is really common to see trees planted too deep. If the trunk looks like a telephone pole it is probably planted too deep. The base of the tree should flare out visibly. Unfortunately a lot of trees are too deep when you buy them. This makes tree selection at the nursery very important.

“Mulch volcanos” are a common way you see landscapers apply mulch to trees. The mulch piled up the sides of the tree. When mulching a tree you should use 2"-3" of mulch out to the drip line (edge of the leaves). No deeper than this, and the mulch can’t touch the bark of the tree. Wet mulch on the bark encourages fungal growth and pests.

These are both really important for tree health because tree roots need access to oxygen. Being planted too deep or adding too much mulch will starve the roots of oxygen and ultimately lead to tree decline. It won’t be a fast death. It could be five years before you start seeing your tree struggle. I have a pamphlet I was gonna take a picture of, but I’m in the middle of a move so it’s packed away.

This is my all time fav. His head just did that.

Certified arborist here. Fruit trees are often precious, if I’m being generous. They are short lived, prone to disease, and take a lot more work than almost any other tree to keep healthy. It’s not really a bad thing, just part of what they are. If there are no target and the tree isn’t too big I would just let it do its thing. Yes the tree is going to fail. Yes it is dying. Enjoy it while it lasts. Now is a good time to think about replanting. Get another tree lined up and planted, by knowledgeable people please. No buried root flares or mulch volcanos. If you play your cards right you could have another tree producing by the time this one is gone.

Museums aren’t technology. /s

If I wanted to see Reddit content I’d have never left.

My god the constant horny posting all day every day.

Putting the shit in shitpost.

Memes are serious.

Easy. I don’t respect people who are wrong on the Internet. I just imagine them as drooling idiots with only two braincells to their name. What could I even accomplish if I changed their mind? Then they’d be wrong somehow but on my side.

I think home schooling (and private schools) should be illegal. Everyone’s kids should have to go through the same public education system. No exceptions. Public schools could use an influx of cash, and there are definitely edge cases that they don’t handle well currently. We should advocate for making them better rather than finding an alternative.
