Hi Roger. I live in Southeast Texas (Houston) to be exact. I have a crepe myrtle that has gotten to be a massive bush. What would you recommend for cutting it back and maintenance for it throughout the year?
Hi Roger, we live in Northern California and have a smaller yard. 5 years ago we planted 2 Scarlet Sentinels, one has done great, the other about half size. The smaller one gets less full sun and backs up to our neighbors Bay Laurel tree (30’ blocking the pm sun). Last year I further exposed the root flare (ATOH recommendation), but still no growth spurt. I read that a Laurel emits an oil that stunts the growth of adjacent plants, and most things struggle to grow there. Any thoughts or recommendations to help growth in that area?

This is great! What is best way and time to get old blooms and stalks cut out of my hydrangea plants? Fall or Spring?
