Trees are a big investment. This isn’t only because they often have a hefty price tag, but also because they take up a lot of garden real estate and aren’t plants that you’ll be able to readily relocate. When choosing a tree, it’s important to make sure it performs in all four seasons. It shouldn’t just have lovely spring blooms and decent fall color. It should also have winter interest and other noteworthy traits that shine when it’s not at its peak. And a tree should be largely pest- and disease-free, with low needs when it comes to care. After all, who wants to invest in a plant that will require 50 years of high maintenance?
Insect pests, out-of-control diseases, and unrelenting weeds—these are the things that keep gardeners up at night. Most of us know that reaching for a spray bottle of toxic chemicals isn’t the answer, but what is the right way to combat these gardening nemeses? Dr. Jeff Gillman, director of the UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens and author of multiple books, including The Truth About Garden Remedies: What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why, has spent his career studying cultural and chemical treatments for these gardening problems. In this webinar he will highlight which treatments work, which ones don’t, and which ones are too dangerous to consider. If you always thought an organic product like Bordeaux mix couldn’t be harmful, you might want to think again.
