  • Transplanting roses #855692

    Asked November 23, 2023, 9:34 AM EST

    Hi, I'm unsure when to move roses in the Denver area. I've read too wait until the leaves fall off but none of mine are,  and I don't want to wait until the ground is frozen. 

    Thanks!

    At what temperatures should I cover my newly planted compact strawberry tree (5 gal)? It has some protection from wind, but not entirely. This weekend the lows are getting into the 20s, but the highs will stay in the forties. At what temperatures would it be wise to cover the young tree?

    Survival of juglone in aerated black walnut chips #855690

    Asked November 23, 2023, 9:22 AM EST

    Hello,

    I have a bunch of chips from the removed black walnut tree. The chips are stored as a pile. How long does it take to reduce the amount of juglone in chips before they can be used for (a) composting and (b) as a mulch? Both questions are for the highly sensitive trees, e.g. apple trees.

    Many thanks.

    grape plant questions #855688

    Asked November 23, 2023, 3:04 AM EST

    There is what I believe is a grape plant growing on my fence but it doesn't produce grapes. I often see what I think are wild grape plants out in fields but they rarely have grapes. When I was a kid there was a grape plant that grew on our fence. It produced lots of grapes. My mother made grape jelly from the grapes. Can the grape plant, if that's what it is, growing on my fence be made to produce grapes by cutting branches like I do on my blackberry plants? Otherwise I will remove it. Thanks.

    Noble fir next to house dropping needles #855681

    Asked November 22, 2023, 7:30 PM EST

    Is this needle browning normal? It seems to have worse in the last couple years with our summer, extreme heat events.

    Buying a spruce tree #855680

    Asked November 22, 2023, 7:29 PM EST

    I would like to have a 15foot spruce tree planted in my front yard. I would like to know what species you recommend for planting, and what time of year is best. A Norway Soruce has been recommended to me and the nursery is suggesting December planting. I am aware of the many diseases perfecting Michigan trees, and it's such a big investment I would truly appreciate your advice.

    Mystery Potatoes in my yard #855677

    Asked November 22, 2023, 5:32 PM EST

    Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. If not, please direct me to the proper place. I love in Bloomington. I have recently found white potatoes in my yard. We aren't putting them there and I don't believe my neighbors are either. I don't see holes where my dog might have dug them up. Could they be "volunteer plants"? Or is there an animal I should watch for that might be leaving them as a stash for winter? I know there is at least one fox around and many squirrels. I wonder about an animal because I want to make sure my dog is safe. Thank you for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful weekend! Sheri

    Disease and Pest Control (fruit) #855676

    Asked November 22, 2023, 4:57 PM EST

    Wondering if there is information to help a home gardener with disease and pest control. Seems that continually the chemicals we have had in the past are either being eliminated or reformulated and it is difficult to know what works and what the new options are. Have 10 fruit trees, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus and plant a good size garden during the Summer. Is there updated documentation that would help with being able to produce good fruits and vegetables?
