Jason’s Plant Pick of the Week – Bright Star Yucca
Ask Burton: Q: I bring in the houseplants I keep on the patio for the winter (so they don’t freeze!), but they look thinner, weaker, and puny by the time they go out next spring. They recover by the end of spring and look good again, but is there something I can do to help them stay better looking-throughout the winter? Fertilize them, somehow?
Ask Burton: This week, we’re expecting freezing weather. Here’s a rundown on how to prepare your landscape for the first truly hard freeze of the year.
Prepare Your Plants for the Cold!
Ask Burton: Q: The fall color of trees is great this year on my block! Is it just me, or are they extra nice this year?
Plant Pick of the Week – Arizona Cypress
Ask Burton: Q: I have nutsedge growing in my flowerbeds. I would like this problem to go away. Do you have a spray that will fix it for me? I’ve pulled, and pulled, and never successfully gotten rid of it.
Chimineas are Back in Stock!
Ask Burton: Q: I came home last night and saw two big branches had broken off my crape myrtle overhanging my back driveway. We had wind this week, but it just wasn’t severe. Any reason for this to be happening?
Ask Burton: Q: My crape myrtles are covered in a sticky mess, and there’s webs all over the plant. It looks awful! What’s going on, and how do I stop it?
