Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fast-Growing Shade Tree as a Father’s Day Gift
Q: So yeah, it's Garden Questions. So Dan would like to buy his father a Father's Day gift of a fast growing shade tree for his new home that he has out in Chino. And he wants to know recommendations you would have.
The hosts suggest considering trees that withstand sun, wind, and well-water conditions in the Chino Valley area, starting with sycamores and progressing through fast-growing maples and elms that provide substantial shade and wind resilience, with notes on varieties suitable for local soils and drought tolerance.
Summer Tree Care and Hidden Lawn Pests
Q: Sherry in Chino is having issues with grasshoppers and can't find Nolo Bait this year. What are the other options?
Two main approaches: a hose-end spray to create a barrier and a granular turf ranger that stays in the soil and kills crawling pests as they encounter it; plus avoid older stock by checking expiration dates if buying online.
Summer Tree Care and Hidden Lawn Pests
Q: So he was watering three times a week. He said, no, only water one time a week. Right. So his question is, is that right?
Yes, established trees should get a deep soak about once a week to push moisture to the entire root zone, even in heat, with careful attention to soil moisture.
Holding Hills with Honeysuckle and More
Q: What should I do about a clear, sticky residue on roses and other plants?
Identify the problem as aphids leaving honeydew, then treat with horticultural oil for a safe, effective solution this season; avoid daily hosing and consider releasing ladybugs for long-term control.
Why Your Tomatoes Aren’t Producing
Q: Can you cover that again, please?
The hosts recap the three main products and steps for tomatoes: Aqua Boost at the root, tomato and pepper set for flowering and fruit set, and yield booster plus blossom set to prevent blossom end rot and boost overall yields.
