  • Grafting a Cherry in Littleton #775676

    Asked October 18, 2021, 10:49 AM EDT

    I planted a multi variety dwarf Cherry in 2014. When we had the bad weather, I thought it froze and died, but the roots sprouted new growth. I now have 3, 8 foot tall non-producing bushes that I would like to graft fruit bearing scions to. What would be the best varieties of cherry for SW Denver, Columbine Area? I was considering Bing, but Rainier's are my favorite sweet cherry, and I hear that Montmorency are a good cooking variety. Is there a local scion exchange group, or website that I can get scions from? Also, what other stone fruits should I consider grafting? Thank you,

    Ripening Lunchbox Peppers #775665

    Asked October 18, 2021, 9:57 AM EDT

    Hello, I'm growing lunchbox peppers and have many green peppers still on the plants. They have been there for a long time without ripening - I'd say most have been about their current size for at least a month. Do you think I should pick them and try to ripen indoors? Or attempt to cover and outlast the coming frost for a while? I don't know if the cold temperatures will keep them from ripening.

    No berries on Serviceberry #775664

    Asked October 18, 2021, 9:53 AM EDT

    Hello, we live in Como Park area of St. Paul. Our Serviceberry shrub is at least 5 years old and I noticed it did not get berries this year, even though it bloomed last spring. Is this a pollinator problem, or do we need a male/female pair of this shrub? Our other shrubs in the yard (Black Chokeberry, Winterberry) do have many berries on them. What time of year do the berries set on Serviceberry?

    Hi! I have seeds from a hollyhock plant that my sister grows abundantly in Door County. Can I still put some on top of the soil this fall, or should I wait and start them next spring in the basement under lights?

    How to determine type of grass #775660

    Asked October 18, 2021, 9:16 AM EDT

    We’ve a few large patches of a grass variety that’s consistently thriving! Can I bring in a swatch of it for your agency to determine the type … so I can plant it throughout the lawn ? Or can you determine the variety with the closeup picture of the grass blades shown below … to potentially determine the variety . I do understand certain varieties are best only laying sod, while other varieties may be seeded successfully.

    Asked October 18, 2021, 9:11 AM EDT

    In our neighborhood in Arnold, we have a hillside (about 50 by 100 ft) that we would like to transition from grass (that is mowed) to more natural plantings such as wildflowers, perennial plantings, shrubs, etc.) Do you have any no-cost of low-cost services available where someone could visit the site and give us advice? This hillside is located above a retention (run-off) pond. Thank you. PS - Please let me know if sending you pictures will be helpful.
