    Deformed honey crisp apples #851213

    Asked September 25, 2023, 4:47 PM EDT

    So I have 2 Honey Crisp trees and the majority of the applies are deformed. I believe it is a Apple magot, but not 100% sure. I did start spraying with Seven in late June or early July, but I think the damage had been done. Can I do anything now so that I have better apples next year? Is it really apple magot?

    grass seeding #851211

    Asked September 25, 2023, 4:44 PM EDT

    Hello, I removed weeds (creeping Charlie) and hostas from the center of my front yard that the previous owner planted. I am planting a serviceberry tree tomorrow in a portion of it. The remaining 9 feet of dirt in a circle is left there. I wish to plant grass seed, but know that it is late in the year. Do you have a suggestion for this to look nice until it snows? Should I plant the seed, let it be or sprinkle woods chips on for now?

    Japanese Beetle Grub killer #851208

    Asked September 25, 2023, 4:22 PM EDT

    Hi, 

    We stopped by your booth at Broomfield Days and spoke to a very nice lady that recommended a more natural Japanese Beetle grub killer.  I thought she called something with the name grub in the title "Grub something."  Would anyone be able to tell me what that was?  We don't want to use something that will harm bees, hummingbirds, etc.

    Thank you so much!

    I’ve been hearing a lot about jumping worms. How do I know if the earthworms I see in my soil are jumping worms or other types of earthworms?

    Bronze birch borer #851205

    Asked September 25, 2023, 4:07 PM EDT

    These birch were planted spring of 2022 and the largest has had the top canopy die off. There are raised ridges on the trunk, so it may have bronze birch borer. Is it possible to save the smaller tree that still looks healthy? What should I do about the larger one with the damaged canopy?

    What’s wrong and how to save my Pinus echinata? #851203

    Asked September 25, 2023, 4:02 PM EDT

    The needles are browning and falling off from the bottom up to the top of the plant. It’s only green at the top, and very scraggly. It’s in part sun, near Black Walnuts and other deciduous trees, on the edge of riparian woods. The soil is clay with humus mixed in from the trees, we don’t mow them. Thank you

    Oriental poppies in Portland #851199

    Asked September 25, 2023, 3:47 PM EDT

    Could you please recommend how to plant and propagate Oriental poppies in Portland, I had a beautiful Papier orientalis that bloomed for me last year but didn't come back this year. Is it an annual? Was it the late freeze that killed it? Will it come back this year or do I need to plant again? When do I plant again?

    Maple tree question #851195

    Asked September 25, 2023, 3:27 PM EDT

    Hello, I have a maple tree with a large crack up the trunk. I believe it is a crimson king maple about 20 years old. I really don't want to lose it, it is a great shade tree for my back porch. I am attaching pictures of the crack in it's trunk. Do you know what is causing the crack and what can I do to help it? The branches seem to be healthy. Thank you!
