    Maple Tree not growing properly
    I have a Silver Leaf Maple Tree in my front yard that is 7 yrs. Old and is approx. 16 - 18 ft. tall. However the first 2 or 3 limbs on the bottoms are no more than 3 to 3.5 ft. long, and the rest of them are not that long. It is tall and skinny. I think it has a flat root system, right? The soil in our front yard is very hard clay, and I was wondering if that's keeping it from growing wider? What can I do to the soil to help it grow better? Thank you...

Ornamental Cherry tree growing on one side only [ 4 Answers ]

I have an ornamental cherry tree that I purchased about 2 years ago and planted. When I got it I could see that one side of the main trunk didn't have any branches but figured it would fill out. Now, 2 years later, it's about 8 feet tall and still no growth on the one side. Any ideas?
