Our apples match the description on the website for apple maggot infestation. Information on the page says these apples can be used for making apple cider, could they also be used for making applesauce if the visually affected areas were removed? Thank you!

Photinia #885690

Asked September 18, 2024, 11:14 AM EDT

Is this photinia healthy? The condition of the bark makes me wonder. Typically, the leaves become diseased and fall off. However, many leaves still survive. Thank you for your response.

Getting rid of Grubs in September #885688

Asked September 18, 2024, 11:08 AM EDT

We just determined a few weeks ago why our grass was dying. When we dug under the grass there were grubs. We have tried Bioadvanced 24 hr Grub killer. We are still seeing them. We have planted some grass seed and have been watering the lawn. Will keeping the ground moist help or hurt in getting rid of the Grubs? Is there anything that will help to get rid of them this late in the year?

Japanese Holly #885687

Asked September 18, 2024, 10:59 AM EDT

Is the Japanese holly pictured without leaves dead? This summer, all of its leaves suddenly turned brown. After a rain, all of the leaves fell off just as suddenly. I cut a twig and saw no green. I include a second photo of a nearby Japanese holly planted at the same time, which continues to look good. Both hollies were planted years ago. (A boxwood stands next to the healthy holly.)

ID shrubs in rain garden #885670

Asked September 18, 2024, 9:22 AM EDT

I have three of these shrubs growing in my rain garden, about 3 years old. These are about 5’ tall with woody trunk and branches. Could you identify them? We had planted native spotted Joe our weed which I haven’t seen come up but these shrubs don’t look like that to me. I would like to find out what these are and whether they should be left in the rain garden or removed?
