Is there anything I can do to an oak tree to prevent it from bearing acorns without hurting the tree?

To honor the tree, ask, and be guided by higher forces. What you really want is a solution that will be kind to both of you. You should also want to review the nobility behind your Intent. I hardly think the good oak wandered into your area by chance. Or maybe could it be that destiny conveniently put you within its vicinity? There is a possibility that there is a lesson here for one of you if not both. Deal with the contract with love. Obviously for you to ask this question indicates great compassion already active within you. Your higher Self will guide precisely. Think and feel for mutuality. Ask guidance from the Highest. May you succeed with your noble intentions.

Those are the remains of the root. Unless you get rid of those it will come back. Try using the removers on them. Since it is a smaller area now, it should work better.

Add red coloring.\n\nIt IS necessary, and it DOES NOT harm the birds.

As long as the tree doesn't over hang their property boundaries, they have absolutely NO right to touch one of your trees.  That's a law suit waiting to happen.

The trees have to be protected from a serious fungal infection called `Koleroga' or fruit rot and it can be prevented by using some eco-friendly strategies.It is spread by  the fungus Phytophthora palmivora.Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.Plant resistent varieties like Mangala, Sumangala, Sreemangala and Mohitnagar.Select sites with deep well drained soil without high water table. Provide adequate irrigation facilities.Sow selected seed nuts soon after harvest in nursery bed with stalk-end up and with a spacing of 5-6 cm. Cover the seed nuts with sand and irrigate daily.Transplant 90 day old sprouts having 2-3 leaves to the secondary nursery. Prepare secondary nursery beds of 150 cm width and of convenient length. Apply cattle manure @ 5 t/ha as basal dose. Transplant sprouts at a spacing of 30 x 30 cm. Provide shade by growing banana, Coccinia indica etc or by means of artificial pandal. Plant banana in advance at a spacing of 2.7 x 3.6 m when it is grown as a shade crop. Provide irrigation during hot and dry periods and drainage during monsoon. Periodical weeding and mulching are necessary.Spray Bordeaux mixture 1% on all bunches three times in a year, one just before the onset of southwest monsoon and the rest at 40 days intervals. If monsoon season is prolonged give a third spray. Use rosin soda adhesive to ensure tenacity of the spray deposit on treated substrate. Remove and burn all fallen and infected nuts.

It will be difficult to save but you could try grafting bark from a branch to bridge the gap the rabbit chewed. Trim the edges with a sharp knife. Do several around the tree and wrap with Saran wrap for a couple weeks to prevent drying out.

make more ozone. jk the best way to prevent it is to not cut down as many trees, not use cfc's (clorofloracarbons), and cut down on major pollution, such as factories and cars like hummers

Once in the morning and once at night.\n\nIf you have manzanita plants in your area, pick a few leaves and boil them in water.  Then dab the liquid on the rash.  It dries up poison oak within a couple of days.  I hope it works on poison ivy.

I'm not sure if I understand the part about "tree is bad because goats scared of cars," maybe its lost in translation.  \n\nDon't worry about roots unless you have terra cotta sewer pipe.  If you have PVC (plastic) sewer pipe, the tree won't invade it because they are sealed.\n\nIf you don't know, just find the clean out and dig down to the pipe in your yard.  Really, though if your plumbing isn't clogged, you don't have a root problem.

You put something to stop the full force of the erosion power being placed on an area.  \n\nShort term .....Straw on the ground to disrupt the wind flow, plant annual grasses to keep the top soil tied to the ground and the wind disrupted.  Divert the water to drainage areas already established.  \n\nLong term.... Change land use practices.  Plant trees to modify the wind flow, plant perennial plants with need less tilling to grow.  Change to no-till/low till farming practices.  Look beyond what has been done and find ways to think anew.  Put large rocks and rip-rap along river banks.  Keep large livestock from breaking down the river embankments.  \n\nThese are just a few of the things that can be done to prevent erosion.

Hi, if the tree roots are damaging your property (this includes the garden) technically it is classed as trespassing as it is on your property and it is also causing a nuisance.  The council should act if they own the tree or it is on their property.  Tell them you have rights under tort for nuisance under the occupiers liability acts.  Speak to the planning department.  PS This is not legal advice.
