Growing Trees & Shrubs

 

Crimson Red Maple in Trouble

My crimson red maple has a vertical crack that runs down the trunk, with sticky, pungent liquid oozing out of it. What is happening?

Pruning Butterfly Bush

Butterfly bush blooms on both new wood (new growth in spring) and old wood (branches that came through winter in good shape).

Non-Blooming Wisteria

Sometimes wisteria are vegetatively hardy—meaning the stems and leaf buds make it through winter in good condition, but their flower buds are less hardy and might not survive.

Moving Lilacs

You have quite a bit of latitude if you’re planting a containerized or balled and burlapped lilac from a nursery or garden center.

Put Shrubs in Their Place

Make the most out of shrubs—follow these tips on where to plant them.

Make a Magnolia

Gather ripe seed in the fall, when red seeds are visible on the fruit. Plant them right away or keep them in a cool, dark, moist place for planting the following spring.

Japanese Apricot Trees

Japanese flowering apricot is a small ornamental tree that grows best in full sunlight in moist, well-drained soil that’s both fertile and acidic.

Sassafras

Sassafras, which is native to North America, has brilliant fall color and unusual green-yellow flowers in the spring.

Summer Wine Ninebark

 Summer Wine’s chocolate-burgundy leaves provide a delicious backdrop for summer and fall perennials.

Sweet Bay Magnolia

Popular for its lemony scent and bright white flowers, sweet bay magnolia is a perfect solution to add color and scent to that area in your yard that doesn’t drain well.
