My Magnolia tree is 20 + year old. The lower branches have developed a fungus on them and leaves are dying. I called Bachman's and they told me it had some fancy fungal name disease. They told me the tree would die within 2 years. They informed me that they are no longer recommending the Magnolia tree is Minnesota. Is there anything I can do to save this beautiful tree...thank you, Duane Birchem

What is this insect? Will it hurt the milkweed?

Please if these bugs and a remedy both organic and chemical thanks

I found this beetle? in my garden and cannot identify it. I have searched on line but without knowing species, pretty hard. It resembles a boxelder but without the black "wings" on the upper body. If you can identify, please assist and what method of extermination/pesticide would work? I am unable to convert heic to jpg so I cannot upload a photo. sorry!

I have been getting light brown dead spots in a certain area of my lawn the past few years. It mostly shows up when it’s dry. This year it’s worse. Area is about 10’ x 12’. I water often but doesn’t seem to help much. I had attributed before to Japanese beetles, but question that this year.

We have a sour cherry tree and all the fruit is turning brown and dying. The tree it self seems healthy but this is the second year in a row that this has happened to the fruit. Last year I was told that I probably needed to prune out some of the interior branches and I did that. The pruning didn't do the trick. I will include so photos. This was a productive tree until last year. Is there anything else we can do? Thanks, Jeff

Do you know what young jumping worms look like? Is the color and white banding the same as adults?

Last summer I took my over grown lilacs down by 1/3.  I had beautiful new growth in the spring, many runners.  At this time all of the new growth has died and other branches are also looking sketchy.  Any ideas?

I am the chair of the Landscape Committee for our townhome association. We are interested in developing a plan for our lawn and gardens that would be sustainable. We would like to get assistance in determining what options there are for ground covers that would not require irrigation, what might thrive in different locations throughout the property and what the estimated costs of transitioning from grass to native ground covers would be. We are in Prospect Park in Minneapolis. Our group met a few years ago with a turf scientist from the U of MN who talked to us about fescues as an option. Do you have recommendations or suggestions about who could help us develop a plan and what the costs of that would be?

I am looking for someone to take down my walnut trees. Hopefully they can have the trees for the cost of taking them down. They are mature and very tall and still producing walnuts and make a mess for me. thank you, christy haddad
