Hi, I live in Oxford MI in Oakland county and would like advice on which grub control product works best. Thanks for your guidance. Jim

I had to cut my pagoda dogwood down. Pretty sure it was golden canker. How do I dispose of it?

I have a homeowner in my county who has a scale infestation. I have attached pictures of them on his burning bushes. Can you advise on control measures? He has a decent number of plants and they're all badly infested with it. Also, can you confirm whether this is indeed scale and maybe identify the species/type of scale. Thanks

We have an old rose which has bloomed spectacularly for many years (see first picture). Its main stems are inches in diameter and weave around a picket fence, sending branches up vertically that leaf and flower profusely from spring to late autumn. This year, for no discernable reason, it started dying back at the time when it normally would be starting to leaf out. Some branches did leaf out but then died; those which continue to leaf out are not vigorous. At this point, about 50% of the branches seem to have died, and this trend is continuing. I am quite distraught as it would be tragic to lose this rose and I have no idea what to do. Any insights and suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi there. I want to create a golden euonymus hedge along a sidewalk next to my house. I’ve read online different spacing distances from 2-5ft as well as different mature widths. Just curious if you guys have any recommendations for the spacing of these plants for a hedge? Thank you very much.

Good morning, I had started Goldie Tomato seeds in my greenhouse two weeks ago. It's been two weeks and the plant is about an inch and a half tall with some set of leaves. Seems kinda small-ish? Can I apply a generic fertilizer like a an purpose with 20-20-20 to help it grow? In low dosage, which is what the Farmer's Almanac suggests. Thanks.

Good morning, I need a lot of advice, and I hope someone can help me. Last May, I had an ash tree removed (EAB), and requested to do a deep stump grind. I hoped after a year (from reading and speaking to two different arborists last spring), that I could purchase a new tree. So, I recently ordered and requested a crabapple ‘Prairie fire’ to be planted close to the location where the ash tree was removed. I was told from two different Gerten’s employees, in order for them to plant, the roots need to be completely rotted in order for the new tree to be planted by at least one year. But options to plant the new tree from the old one, I received different answers. One person told me only a foot, another person told me 3 feet from the originally location to plant the new tree. I have limited space in the front yard, so I’m not sure whether to just cancel my tree from the amount of space I can plant it from in the ground. The other hiccup I have, is about a 5’+ long, deep tree root I cannot remove. It’s probably about a foot thick in diameter at least. Is there a way to kill that root, if I have to wait to order a crabapple by next spring? I’m afraid if I put any chemicals down, it’ll kill my grass and the new tree. My last question is- how fast do the Prairie Fire trees grow? I was thinking of possibly ordering a smaller tree instead, due to the old tree roots existing, and the amount of space for the tree to grow up. I have a mature linden tree already, so it would be pretty close to the crabapple. Pictures show smallest root sliced, and the largest part of the root from the tree.

Looking to fill in are with tall prairie grass to provide privacy and backdrop. Intend on putting tall sunflowers in back and 4-6 ft grass in front. Prefer to seed rather than plant due to size of area. Moist soil and in zone 4. Thank you
