hackberry tree or sweet cherry tree

I had dropped seeds from sweet cherries we were eating on the deck outside, a year later a small shoot came up from between the boards where dirt and leaves get stuck. I took the shoot and planted it is doing well. I always thought it to be a cherry sprout but there is also a hackberry tree towering near. I ran the leaves through an identification app and sweet cherries came up. However the leaves look very similar. Please help.

iris foliage diseases

Are there any ways to control the foliage diseases that constantly attack my irises ? I can completely clean up the bed and cut off the diseased foliage and within a couple of weeks it will be looking ragged again. I have tried a systemic fungicide that helped only a little. One grower advised me to learn to live with it !

Pinnacle Birch with Dying Branches

I've been trying to send this question through a couple of times and not sure that it's going through. I have a pinnacle birch with branches that are dying. I have another that looked the same way last fall and it didn't come back in the spring. Please look at the photos below and let me know if there's anything I can do this fall to help insure that it comes back in the spring.

Oak wilt

Hello, I suspect that our red oak has oak wilt. If we need to remove the tree, is there a time of year you recommend so that the fungus doesn't spread too much during removal? Thank you!

Raspberry fruit

I have fall bearing raspberries...Autumn Britten...and the fruits are getting orange marks on them. The marks are ingrained into the berries and some are literally covered with them and have to be thrown out. Any solutions? Is it a fungus or caused by insects? I have raised raspberries for years and have never had that before.

Mysterious odor

Beginning a week ago, we started smelling a strange odor in our dining room. Our dining room is located directly over a cellar. The odor begins to be noticeable at sundown, gets stronger throughout the evening, is very strong when we get up the next morning (especially if the dining room is closed up), and then disappears during the day. It then begins again the next night at sundown. The odor smells like old stale cigarette butts, on the one hand, and has a strong earthy odor (like wet clay) on the other hand. I have looked everywhere and considered everything and am totally mystified. I can't determine the source. Where can I go for diagnostic help?

does potassium migrate down into soil

My high school softball field's MSU soil test indicated potassium required and I have read that potassium doesn't migrate down into the soil and pretty well stays where it's put. I don't understand how the potassium will get to the roots of the grass if spread on top of the soil.

Is this a weed

In one of my raised beds, I had allowed this clump to grow and it virtually took over my 6' square bed. It flowed a very small flower (can't remember the color!!!) but it had a fairly good stalk to it once I pulled it out. But it spread with quite an under growth, like a shade, when I eventually pulled it out and looked at it upside down. Did I pull out a weed or a plant? Thanks! Tom Junkert

Why are my squash all different

In the fall of 2013, at our local pumpkin patch, I bought a small gourd/squash. It was mostly white with green stripes and about 4 inches in diameter. We left it out all winter and it got knocked off of the porch railing into the grass. It was mush by spring so we just left it. It sprouted and we got quite a few small gourds/ squash from it looking mostly like the original . We did it again last year as well. For some reason this year everything looks different. Some look like pumpkins, some are two tone, some are long and yellow. Can anyone explain why if they all came from the same ancestor why they are so different
