  • Hackberry rotting branches falling #890067

    Asked November 19, 2024, 7:16 PM EST

    This summer and end of the fall, I first noticed the ends of branches falling off two mature hackberry trees with green leaves attached. Drought? As fall progressed, I’ve now been seeing some branches one to two inches thick fall out of the trees. They appear quite rotten. We have also had something laying eggs on one of the two trees for years. Both trees are on our front yard near the street. Any ideas about the health of these trees? Temedies? I don’t recall so much of this in past years. We have lived here about 12 years. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

    Storing grape juice #890066

    Asked November 19, 2024, 6:03 PM EST

    I used a steamer juicer to make grape juice. I put it in canning jars and put the lids on top and they all sealed. I did not put them in a water bath though. Will they be safe to store? I did this about two weeks ago and my friend just told me today I should’ve put them in a water bath too. Just wondering if they’re safe.

    Raspberry, Summer Bearing, Killarney #890062

    Asked November 19, 2024, 5:22 PM EST

    I planted bare root Summer Bearing Killarney in May 2023, We have berries that summer on very short canes. This summer we did not get any berries as we may have pruned at the wrong time. The individual canes grew quite tall 6' or so. I have been reading about floricanes and primocanes and now am very confused about what to do with these berries. Please advise.

    Tree planting height #890054

    Asked November 19, 2024, 4:11 PM EST

    I recently had a landscape company plant five, six-foot Black Spruce trees on a slope - about 45 degrees. The root ball is exposed on the one side. Should I cover the root ball with mulch, leaves, or dirt for the winter? They were planted in July and have received regular watering throughout the growing season. Photos attached. Thanks for your advice!! :-)

    Lemon tree #890043

    Since moving our young lemon tree inside, it has been dropping leaves. Is that due to shock from moving it?
