I have two problems. One concerns my azaleas (2 next to each other) and the other my milkweed. Can you please help me identify the problems and provide treatment ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I need to replace pachysandra and vinca plants which are getting too much sun after we removed a large tree. Is there any attractive evergreen ground cover that you would recommend? The sections receive sun most of the day. thanks

Hello - I am a property manager in a community with a fairly large rain garden and we are having trouble with weeds. We are hand-pulling the weeds from the garden itself but the yards that surround it are becoming somewhat infested. I was wondering if you could recommend a spray or solution that wouldn't effect the rain gardens. Thanks in advance.

I have a peach tree that was planted in 2020 as a bare rot transplant. Every year since then it has leafed out and for the last 2 years in flowered. Last year there were a number of small peaches, this year only one or two. Additionally the leaves withered (see picture) and fell prematurely. I have not used any spray but I’m wondering if maybe I should. Can you help me tell what’s happening here? Is there anything I can do to improve the health of this tree or is it toast? Thank you.

I have an area beside my patio that has a lot of Hakonechloa macra Japanese Forest Grass in it and it's dying. I think that's because it's too hot there and the moisture is variable. It certainly is not in a shady forest. I am going to pull it out. But what should I put in it's place? We have a huge herd of white tail deer living with us and it has to be something they don't like. I have a Goshiki Osmanthus there that seems happy. Otherwise the space will be empty. I would like something fairly low growing because there's a picture window right there and I like to look out from there at my garden. Do you have any suggestions?

I believe I have a Sawyer Beetle. Is it friend or foe? Thanks, Jill

Hello, I have a small group of apple trees that I planted about six years ago that are now starting to produce very nicely. I believe the varieties are Kinderkrisp and Sweet Sixteen. For the last several years the Kinderkrisp have grown beautiful apples but by the end of August they have small holes in them and are often misshapen in a way that looks like it's caused by the holes. The apples are great tasting, but we have to eat around the spots / holes in them. Can you help me figure out what's causing these holes and spots, and tell me how to prevent them next year? My wife and I would like to try and keep sprays and treatments as natural as possible, but if a stronger spray or treatment is required to eliminate what's causing the holes we are open to that too. Please see pictures I've attached. Thank you for the help!

I have fungus growing on the bark of several trees, Crape Myrtle, and shrubs in my yard. How do I get rid of it? Do I need to kill it? The two attached pictures are reprehensive of what it looks like.

What went wrong with these tomatoes and how can I prevent this from happening again?

Is MSMA Target 6 Plus safe to use for eliminating sandburs and other grassy weeds in our lawn? Is it safe to use for controlling weeds in a produce garden? If it's not safe, is there a substitute post-emergent product you would recommend?
