Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person.

One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

I have a willow tree that was planted to deep and mulched to high. As a result about 12" of the base has lost it's bark completly. The tree is blooming and it's only 2years old. The question is if it gets diseased should I remove the tree now or will it survive if I paint the tree white where it's missing bark . Also where it's a willow and their known to constantly loose limbs to high winds is this another reason to remove it now before it gets to big.Finally,is there something else I can use to bring back the bark or prevent disease.

Tree Questions, Tree Trunk Goop
Remove the mulch away from the tree exposing the bare soil. Water the tree slowly to allow moisture to reach the root system and fertilize with root stimulator. If the tree show signs of stress we have a product called Tree Trunk Goop that you can mix with water and make a paste to spread on the bare parts of the trunk. Removing the tree will be a chore since it is 2 years old and the roots have already spread out pretty far.
