rose bush donation #398009

Asked May 05, 2017, 2:53 PM EDT

Good morning, First off I want to thank you for the plant sale at the Fairgrounds.I received some helpful information and even bought some plants. I have 2 questions: 1. Do you have, or know of a plant exchange or "free to a good home" site to let others know I have approximately 20 rose bushes to donate? My husband and I recently bought a house and the previous owner LOVED roses. Unfortunately, I do not. My general philosophy is if I can't eat it, I don't want to bother with it and my experience is roses are high maintenance. I plan to spade around the root balls now for fall transplanting. Any information would be helpful. I've emailed this same query to the Oregon rose society and haven't heard back. My next stop is posting on "Nextdoor.com" 2. I am interested in buying a bat box. What are some good resources for buying and locating one (or more) on our property?

Rug Juniper #643196

Asked May 29, 2020, 6:52 PM EDT

17 yr old Juniper(not sure of type) all green, creeps & grows 5ft or so. Last yr it was beautiful looking&  no issues. This yr it is dying & with a yellow brown orange every where which is planted on 2 "separate" banks of my yard. It looks black on the under side not on the actual stem but on the main stem. Not sure if this is how it should look because I have seen good juniper looking black also. The rug growing on top has new growth.  I Did not see any insects or scale eggs ect. I have pruned the dead off some & wondering if I should fertilize them & if so with what type, I would like a mix that I can spray on because the areas are large. Aprox. 500 sq ft   Greatly Appreciate your help.

scorched bark on my leyland cyress trees #451327

Asked May 03, 2018, 9:01 AM EDT

Due to several heavy snow/wind storms this past winter, my leyland cypress trees were knocked down (they were planted in the past 2 years). It was necessary to prop them up using 4 x 4 landscape ties. At the point of contact, the edge of the 4 x 4's tore of some bark. Q: How do I treat the areas where the bark has been torn off?

Should I start any defensve treatment for Emerald Ash Borer? #398792

Asked May 09, 2017, 11:34 AM EDT

I am a resident of Englewood Colorado concerned about a large Ash tree in my back yard.  News stories have alerted us to the impending doom posed by the Emerald Ash Borer.  Should I start a treatment at this time to protect the tree or should I wait until there are reports of the pest in my area?  If I should start a protective program for the tree is there an effective treatment a homeowner can apply?  I have a Ross Root Feeder with a small reservoir for treatment pellets for systemic application that might be helpful.
