Can you help a novice locate a couple of trees
Comments (2)Both will take full sun well, but they will look better the hottest summer months with just a little protection from sun in the hottest part of the day. It will take a couple of years for the root system to get established, so until then, you might see some leaf burn. No big deal. As far as pruning, prune to shape like any other tree and do so mostly year around. Early summer seems to work well for maintenance pruning and you can pinch back any new chutes that are undesireable as they grow. You should see a great deal of vigor out of both trees in the years to come, so don't worry about pruning too much-the trees handle it very well. Like other plants, you will be redirecting growth, so think before you cut....See MorePlease help a novice! Is this a good price?
Comments (4)natalie every piece of equipment including the Trane Brand has a model number and size. you have asked a question that can not be properly answered without this information. for instance, is the furnace an XV80 mdl or XL80 mdl? what size? same is true for the outside condenser. this makes a big difference whether quote is reasonable. also, you will need to provide the evap coil mdl number. this information should be on your quote. If it's not, then request it. check the Trane residential website area. TD Here is a link that might be useful: Trane Residential...See MoreHelp for (improving!) gardening novice re: lemon tree
Comments (3)yep, a very nasty case of scale. neem oil will work too, just dilute and spray all over those nasties.

Comments (6)Well for apples and pears which are pretty foolproof to graft, a lot of people bench graft. Eg. graft directly to the rootstock prior to grafting. I have no experience nor have done any research for peaches, apricots, ect. I have heard that they are more difficult. I know for large volume grafting the nurseries usually bud graft because their scions then go a lot farther as a scion with 3-4 buds can be grafted to 4 rootstocks instead of just 1 as as a cleft graft. It is also faster for multi-grafting as you place all 3-4-5 buds on the same rootstock at the same time. I think they usually do 4-5-6 buds with expectation that 1-2 will fail but they still end up with a 3-4 variety tree....See MoreJim_C
