 Geoff Harris - Tip of The Month  Starting mid-June, check the underside of leaves for a lacewing black headed bug called the Lace Bug. This bug sucks the chlorophyll from the leaves resulting in a mottled look. This insect can be easily controlled by applying Bifenthrin to the underside of the leaf. This pest is most commonly found on Andromedas but also affects most types of Azaleas. |
 Mike Kennedy - Tip of the Month  |
 Paul Bowery - Tip of the Month Water your trees heavily by an additional 1 - 2 inches of water per week during hot dry periods in July to early September. Trees prefer a heavy deep soaking less frequently than lawn irrigation. Keep in mind that too much water can be just as bad as not enough. That is why watering once per week works best for trees. |
