Can I save my Asian pear trees?
Comments (5)I can say that my cherry tree is suffering from a fungus because of the cool, damp temps we've been having. Perhaps your tree will come back fine next year under more favorable growing conditions than we've had this year. I wouldn't necessarily blame the soil, mine are planted in clay too and one of them is doing fine....the other was a year end purchase at Lowe's and it has yet to do anything although it has been in for 4 years (it gets taller, no fruit or flowers). Leaf curl is something I've experience on other trees and you can spray for that with dormant oil in the spring. Your best bet IS to take in a branch with the fruit and the leaves still on it, and with leaves from the ground and to take it to your extension agency. They will be able to tell you what it is and what to do about it far better than we can guessing at the problems (temps, moisture, etc.) without a picture and without knowing the conditions your area has had. I hope this helps....See MoreQuestion
Comments (10)In time the stump and roots will decompose. If you don't want to wait so long you can grind the stump or put various stump rotting products on it. Even a few drilled holes or light and shallow cuts with a saw on the stump will speed things up a little bit. Even if you don't completely dig out the roots, just wounding them a bit with a pick will speed things up a little. The other thing is to make sure the stump is dead. If the stump starts sending up growth, cut it off a little more and paint some herbicide on the wound. You probably could get away with a raised bed in the area. The roots of the flowers will probably be able to find their way through the spaces between the tree roots....See MoreI am just wondering
Comments (7)Ohsillyme, I checked lasagna bed on search engine. Yes, it is good idea. Thank you your good suggedtion. Anewgarden, I like idea of poppies in a container sitting on top of the tree stump. Last year, I planted multiple colored petunia plants in large planting continer and put on tree stump. Thank you for taking your time to reply. Andrey, I am from Japan and I live in city of Philadelphia, PA. Do you know most Japanese people who are raised and educated in Japan have difficulty of pronouncing letter L? Yes, still cannot pronounce L sound. Good luck with your teaching!...See MoreBig disappointment!
Comments (6)gardenscout, thank you for your quick reply. Yes, if Cottage Farm is going to send me wrong flower color of Rose of Sharon again, I am not going to order anything from this company in the future. Somebody else said he(or she, I don't remember the name of person.) got wrong flower color of Rose of Sharon on QVC website but this person didn't sound too upset. I guess best way of buying plant is to see with our own eyes before we pay for it....See MoreOklaMoni
