[quote=Anonymous]We have tons of native tree volunteers in our yard - probably two dozen white oaks and several red maples. Our mature white oaks are all dying after all of our neighbors cut theirs down in the past decade. We've had a few different arborists out and they have all said the white oaks are going to all have to come down in the next 5-10 years. We have borers and something else I can't remember the name of. Anyway, we love our trees and know how good especially white oaks are for the environment. But a lot of these volunteers are in unfortunate places - like right against a fence or on a steep slope. Will they naturally cull themselves? Should I pull them out if they are in bad locations? Should I try to transplant a couple to better areas? Should I just leave them and see what happens? I need to hit a blend of what's best for the environment and what's best for our lot and our neighbor's lots. [/quote]
