Steve Miles, Master Gardener, Hennepin County, (I am a volunteer human being: not a bot, not AI). I'm an avid gardener but not a degreed or certified horticulturist or arborist. I will do much better if you also send a photograph. I like follow-up questions. The University' garden soil tests are excellent. https://soiltest.cfans.umn.edu/testing-services/lawn-garden This is how to find a tree expert. https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/how-hire-tree-care-professional A Directory of ISA certified arborists is at https://certificates.directory.isa-arbor.com/ The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a wonderful place to see and learn about plants that grow in Minnesota. https://mngardens.horticulture.umn.edu/minnesota-landscape-arboretum Ask a Master Gardener is a public service of the University of MInnesota's Extension Division.
