Could you identify the evergreen shown in the attached images? I have a few of them growing on my property and they all grow underneath other, larger trees.

I had a client call and say that her daughter had given her a large jar of black maraschino cherries. They have developed mold on the top and she would like to know if they are still usable if she takes the mold off.

Hello, my spirea are covered in aphids. They are chewing through my roses too. I'd like to purchase ladybugs but I can't find a site that ensures they are native to the region. I'm concerned about introducing an exotic species of ladybug. Do you have any suggestions?

I live in Potomac Maryland. My front yard has some spots with not so much grass! It gets sun about 1/2 day an some places less sun. I want to overseed it to get better lawn. 1. Which type of grass do you recommend? 2. I would like to pre-germinate it until start to root. Is it OK? Do you have any document or recommendation? 3. After starting to root, I think I should let it dry a bit, then mix it with MILORGANITE ORGANIC LAWN FERTILIZER and soil and spred it. Is it OK? Do you have any document or recommendation? 4. Should I spread it right after the lawn is cut? 5. How long should I wait after spreading before cutting the lawn again? Any other recommendations? Thank you, Esmail

i dont know how to upload a file her but I could text or email you a picture. There or about fifty of them so I want to know if I should leave them or pull them. They are very full with many leaves that look like featherily maple leaves with five instead of three parts. Thank you

Good morning, I am interested in growing indigo and other natural dye plants. I would like to get useful information and also visit an indigo plantation.

Had my patio furniture covered for the winter. Removed covering yesterday and found bees had made hives in the bottom area of all 4 chairs. Want to get them removed safely. Any ideas on how I can do that?

My daughter lives in Anne Arundel County and a raccoon (or maybe more than one) is using her deck for a latrine. We have cleaned it and tried filling the space with lawn furniture etc but the raccoon keeps coming back. We don't want to kill it or them, just discourage from her deck. The deck is raised (level with second floor of house), with stairs to the yard, made of a plastic resin, not wood. Thanks.

Five years ago I moved to a house with a red Japanese maple pruned to about a 3 ft mound (it's about 4 ft now). Last year some green viney sprouts poked through the understory to the outside and I pulled them off. This year there is more green understory. Is this normal, is the plant going to turn green? Should I trim the green branches off or will they turn red eventually?
