Weekly topic challenge: trees [completed]

Question

I made a post asking for topic ideas for the challenge, and the next open suggestion is for trees.

You can ask about tree care, pruning, planting, or anything. A lot of tree care goes on in winter, because of the drop in other regular landscape maintenance.

Please use the tag trees when posting questions for this challenge, and remember to keep the site quality at a good level.

Next week, on January 12, I will tally up the results to see how we did, in an answer below this post. Feedback? Comment below this post or find me in our chat room. Have fun!

During the week(s) that the challenge ran, we received 2 questions tagged trees:

• Can I use 12-6-9 fertilizer sticks for a Ficus Bonsai?

These questions have attracted 3 answers. Here are the participants:
