I'm looking for a good hardy shade tree, a replacement for a crimson king maple that has recently died from verticillium wilt. I'm looking for something that I can place where the other tree is currently located and is not overly susceptible to verticillium wilt. Also something that isn't going to cause root problems with my lawn. I'm considering oak and beach, and some maples. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks! -Will

I think our trees need some iron, but how do we know how much to use? Our soil is VERY clay and sticky. We tilled in a lot of nutrimulch before we planted anything, but it still dries as hard as a rock (literally) and is very sticky when wet. I don't understand about acidic soil vs. alkaline, or which one is clay. Also, the iron that we have said that it is a soil acidifier. Will that work for the trees and my blue hydrangea bush (to be sure to get blue blooms)? It is from Cook's: Hi-Yield Iron Plus

We have a lot of clay soil, thick and heavy and water puddles in it. We continue to add organic matter both Fall and Spring. Would granular sand, gypsum or lime, improve clay soil in this area? If so, at what rate?
