Hi Dorothy,

Tell me why you think they’re dying. What do they look like? Can you take a photo of one and add it here?

Thanks.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Hackberry trees in the yard. What do you think of them?

Hi Dorothy,

I'm afraid the photos didn't come through. Rather than adding them to this email, perhaps you can start all over again and attach photos with the new message.

Sorry for the hassle. Thanks.

Hi Dorothy,

The trees look like they're dead or dying, I'm sorry. I can't diagnose this from these photos.

This page may help you narrow down the cause:

If you want a sure diagnosis, you should ask a certified arborist to visit. You can find one here:

Sorry I can't offer more help. Good luck.
