Yellow Leaves #813304

Asked October 05, 2022, 4:17 PM EDT

I have a rather large shrub ( I don't know the name ) that has yellow leaves in some areas. Otherwise it's leaves are green with what look like tiny sprigs at the end of the stem and it has dried up small berries. I would like to know if it is lack of enough water or could it be a disease of some sort. If you need a picture, the only way I know how to send one is by text. I don't know about the Choose File. I could bring in a sample if needed. I don't live too far away. Thank you

What is the best way to kill Virginia creeper and burdock without using round up? I have heard that a mixture of 30% vinegar, Epsom salts and Dawn dishwashing detergent might be effective. We can cover it up with plastic sheeting and leave it for a long time after spraying

Tomato disease? #800019

Asked July 08, 2022, 10:13 AM EDT

The attached photo is a tomato plant we have, one of 8 but the only one affected with the leaf curl. We have separated it from the others and treated it with copper sulfate and Epson salt but it is getting worse. No indications of insects or apparent disease on the leaves or stems. Recommendation? Thanks in advance for the help.

Virus #799697

Asked July 06, 2022, 3:17 PM EDT

You have identified that the lobelia photo we sent you earlier this week as a virus. We have a large yard with a variety of plants. Here are 2 more photos that may be affected. One is common violet that are profusely affected and the other is a foxglove leaf. • will this return next year? • is it in the soil or just on the plant? • not all of the plants are affected, so are some kinds more susceptible than others? • are some plants of the same variety (lobelia) more immune and if not affected now are they safe? I apologize for the length of this and the many questions, but this may be quite a widespread infection.

How do I get rid of poison sumac in my yard? #794394

Asked June 05, 2022, 8:49 PM EDT

I've tried pulling up the root of poison sumac in my yard, but no luck. How to get rid of it? One area is surrounded by ivy and 2 feet from a large pine tree. The other area is next to 2 rose bushes right by my side door. I'd like to get rid of them without killing the rose bushes, the ivy isn't a bid deal as it grows back fast. We do not have pets or young children in our yard. Would love your advice, as both husband and I break out in rash even when trying to be careful around them.

Jade Plant #787107

Asked April 17, 2022, 7:30 PM EDT

Hello, We were at the Landscape Arboretum this weekend admiring the Jade plant in the visitor center. We have one as a houseplant at home which has been looking worse every year now. We're considering re-potting it, fertilizing more frequently and trimming some branches. However, we don't want to add too many stresses at once. What would a good plan of action be to really make this plant healthy again. Photos attached for reference. Thank you for any assistance, Matt Becker

Planting nursery plants in the late summer #771101

Asked September 07, 2021, 4:25 PM EDT

New to Colorado, so please help! I acquired a few plants this weekend (Black-Eyed Susans, Lavender, Elderberries) and want to get them in the ground ASAP. The ground around my house (SE Fort Collins) appears to be solid clay. Previous owner had warned about planting anything next to the house due to the expansive soils in Colorado (?) and the danger of watering too close to the foundation. WHAT IS TOO CLOSE? Walking around the neighborhood, folks seem to have planted around 18" from the house. And can I chop up the clay, and put a good layer of topsoil or in-ground garden soil above the clay, plant the flowers, and then put mulch around the top? Should anything go into the hole under the plant? Compost or compost tea? Thank you so much!
