re: Can you suggest a colorful fall plant?

I planted the Bolero mums in one of our gardening beds a couple of months ago. I expect next year we will have a bed of stunning blooms. I selected this variety for it's color and the fact that butterflies love them also.

If you would like to keep the plant green a little longer but it is a deciduous plant so it will start to defoliate normally when the plant is entering dormancy.

re: How deep should I plant my bareroot tree peony?

Potted plants take longer to establish and must be planted at the same depth as bare root plants. Peonies have no bulbs. They can be reproduced from eyes on the root/crown tissue. Tree peonies do not produce an abundance of divisible plants with eyes attached to roots.

The October Glory Maple needs to be planted in Zones 5 - 8. I'm not sure where you live in South Texas but you can click here and enter your zip code in the upper right hand corner to determine your Zone. www.naturehills.com/.../october_glory_red_maple.aspx

Thank you for your question.

Hello and welcome to the community. Roses need to be planted in full sun and fertilized regularly. How long have you had them in the pots you purchased them in?

I have three rose bushes that will not rose up. Can you over water a rose bush to the point that roses won't bud? They arn't in the ground they are still in the pots i baught them in.

re: Can some shrubs be cut back to ground level?

LindaRH — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:19:00 GMT

I just planted two lilac bushes 2 years ago. This year only two branches on each are getting buds. I am also noticing a white residue on the branches and leaves that looks something like styrofoam globs, although very small. What is this and what can I do about it? The other question I have is my husband wants to move the plants to a different location since they will get to approx. 6' high and wide. Can they safely be dug up and moved???

re: Fast Growing Trees for Windbreaks

aethon — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:02:35 GMT

Hello, I live in CT and have planted 10 emerald green arborvitae for a wind breaker/screen two years ago. But they do not seem to have grown much during this time. I am now thinking that perhaps I had made a mistake and I am now considering purchasing leyland cyprus to put in their place. My soil is clay and so does not posses the greatest drainage in the world. How fast can the arborvitae grow and what can I do to maximize there growth rate and health. A couple of them have become a little thinned out due to last years spring rains, which lead to them falling over and me having to pull them back up and placed with stakes to keep them stable. Help!
