  • Sick trees #900691

    Asked May 08, 2025, 9:02 PM EDT

    It seems my trees are dying. Last year, the smaller ones were full and healthy. The big one is losing branches and all its needles. What could be wrong with them? And can they be saved?

    How to kill plant #900678

    Asked May 08, 2025, 7:06 PM EDT

    We cut down a couple dead trees and ground the stumps last fall. Now these “pockey” plants are sprouting all in that area. How do I get rid of them? And there are other big leafy places growing next to the tree that remains. I think those are weeds too and I’d like to get rid of them. These two problem areas are right next to each other. Can you please share advice? Ideally I’d like grass to grow there. (Would ultimately use grass seed….). Thank you for your advice.

    Pachysandra Die Back #900674

    Asked May 08, 2025, 6:45 PM EDT

    Dear U of M Extension Service, Many of our pachysandra died off over the winter. Most of the remaining plants look healthy, but some have wilted leaves. Have you heard whether others have had the same problem this year? Or could it be a blight? See attached photos. Bob Huber

    We meed help with our front lawn (fairly dry fairly shady) which has gotten a LOT of bare soil after a spring rake. Are there companies who are experienced with the installation of things like sedges and clover which might work in a shady area? Thank you!

    Asked May 08, 2025, 2:13 PM EDT

    Hello, I am a clinical social worker at TCC's GRAF residential program and we are trying to revive the vegetable garden. I have weeded and cleaned it out. We have green moss growing in out beds. What is the best method of getting rid of the moss and grass? Also, are there community programs that might do seed or starter donations? Thank you!

    magnolia #900632

    Asked May 08, 2025, 2:01 PM EDT

    Hello - What's your take on magnolia trees in this area? I would like to plant a magnolia tree but hesitated after hearing about the pervasive issue of scale. I don't like to spray with pesticides. Do you know of a way to naturally prevent scale? I'm undecided because I've seen magnificent varieties around town that seem to have no issues. Thank you in advance for advising.

    Rhododendron #900628

    Asked May 08, 2025, 1:46 PM EDT

    1st picture: What has happened ? What can i do to remedy it? Should I prune these branches off the bush? 2nd picture 3rd picture - We have several newly planted Rhodies as of last fall. The deer which are too dense in our area ate all the leaves and some of the stems! We have lots of Rhodies on our property and they have never eaten them. Are these salvageable? If so, what should I do? Suggestions for deer deterrents? I have tried many but I am open to suggestions anyway. You may have a new thought. Thank you in advance for your response
