Plant Talk with Dave Decock – the king of all things green, the master of mulch, the prince of pruning – well, you get it. Dave answers questions from listeners by phone, by text and by email. This episode contains trees, Boxwood, aphids and more!
This week, Dave handles several questions about trees including:
Aphids, what to do with those little pests. Single trees in a grove that don’t seem to leaf out nicely. A pesky five year old Blue Spruce. Is it alright to prune a tree so you can fit a riding lawn mower underneath? The proper time to prune a flowering crab apple tree. An Oak tree that is shedding bark and how to treat “needlecast.”
Dave also touches on growing berries for the grand kids to snack on, whether or not Boxwood is hardy enough for our area, splitting hostas in late Spring and ridding your yard of dandelions AFTER you’ve already used some weed and feed.
Listen to Plant Talk w/ Dave Decock every Thursday, during the growing season, between 1-2pm on KFGO 790 AM & 94.1 FM – and, worldwide, at kfgo.com.
