Hello, Where and when can I purchase sunchoke tubers locally? I can't seem to find them in grocery stores. The flowers and leaves shown in look like Black Eyed Susan in https://marylandgrows.umd.edu/2021/11/10/mix-it-up-perennial-vegetables/. Are they in the same family? Thank you. S.W.

Can you recommend an assortment of summer bulbs for planting this spring that are both deer resistant and can be planted in clay soil? Lots of sun. Thanks! Karen

A dead tree blew over onto veriageted maple and ripped off a branch of our tree and left a sizeable wound. It is ragged and fairly large. Should we put wound dressing on it or leave it alone

Is it too late now to trim oak trees in Iowa City? If they need to be trimmed later in the season, what is the best dressing of the wound?

I called OSU Extension the day before yesterday at<personal data hidden>. I talked to a lady who took down my name and email address and me question. She said I would receive an answer to my question via email. As of this writing, I have not received anything from the Extension Service. My questions is.....what is the most common fungus or fungi affecting residential lawns in East Medford? Our home is under Roxy Ann Peak at 2200' above sea level. Our yard is primarily perennial rye. Thank you in advance for your response.

I live in the Hermiston area and am wondering what vegetables I can direct sow for a spring garden now? I am thinking carrots, beets, peas…anything else?

There was a wire cutting into the bottom of this fig tree which caused indentation and damage to the trunk. Wire has been removed. What can I do now to protect the tree? One picture is of whole tree. Second is where damage occurred. Thank you!!!

My partner and I have just moved into a new apartment and bought a housewarming plant. We love this little tree but it has started to lose leaves! What can we do to give this navel orange tree the best life we can inside an apartment?

I live near McMinnville Or and I’m looking for a local bee club

We planted a Gingko tree from a local Arbor Day Sale about 8 years ago. After the first year, the tree had a significant lean to it, but we were advised that staking the tree in an effort to straighten it wasn't good for the tree. So, we left it alone hoping that it would straighten over time. The tree is very healthy, but It hasn't straightened -- although the branches are responding to the lean by growing closer alongside the trunk on the side that's closer to the ground, and extending longer and farther away from the trunk on the side that's furthest from ground (nearer to the sun). There are also 3 other trees around this Gingko in our front yard (within 10 feet or so): a Kentucky Coffee Tree, a Red Maple, and a large spruce. If the Gingko keeps growing at this angle, that lean could be a problem. We feel we're at a crossroads, that if it's not going to straighten, we would be better off replacing it this year. And yet we love our trees and if it will straighten enough, we would "lean" towards keeping it. We would appreciate your expertise very much. Thank you!
