  • Are brown garden snails (Cornu Aspersum / Helix) common pests in Maryland? #890802

    Asked December 14, 2024, 5:03 PM EST

    Hello, intrepid but unsuccessful gardener here just with a quick question about snails. I come from Scotland originally and we see brown garden snails everywhere! Having lived in Virginia and Maryland for a little over a year now, I’m just wondering why I haven’t seen any of this species here yet - it’s wet enough! The climate in the Chesapeake Bay Area really isn’t so different from Scotland especially in Winter. Anyway, are snails considered a common garden pest here? Are snails terrorizing urban gardeners in Baltimore as well speak!? I just want to know. Thank you.

    What’s happening to these trees? #890797

    Asked December 14, 2024, 12:57 PM EST

    These trees seem to have suddenly dropped quite a bit of bark. I thought deer initially, but it goes up rather high and is on several trees throughout the woods 30-50 feet up. What could this be and how to proceed ?

    Apple defects #890796

    Asked December 14, 2024, 11:23 AM EST

    I have an apple tree in our backyard. About every other year it produces lots of apples, but they have defects, maybe from worms, I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do to ensure I have nice, edible apples when they mature? I am open to any chemical application necessary. Thanks.
