Ask Burton: This week, we’re looking at a favorite container plant for the season – how to keep rosemary looking its best. Q: I plant cone-sheared rosemary in my front patio pots each year, for something taller and pretty during the winter. Last year, my rosemary got great big dead patches in it without much warning – whole sections of it died. What happened, and how do I make it not happen this year?November 21, 2018
Ask Burton: Q: I had an old sweetgum in my front yard that’s given up the ghost this year so we had it removed. I’d like an upright smaller tree to go in the yard now. The sweetgum almost had the shape I wanted, but it was still a little too big and the spiny seed pods were not a favorite! Our front yard is small and I’d like a small tree out there with that upright kind of shape, but something that would stay in the twenty foot range. I also don’t care for magnolias, as it feels like we’re always picking up leaves, so do you have any ideas for a smaller evergreen tree?November 8, 2017
