Garden expert and owner of Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company, Jay Harper is here to take your questions!

  • Fall weather is here and it’s perfect for almost any project.
  • Jay runs through all the veggies you can be planting right now.
  • Winter colors are ready to go in too!
  • Plant shade trees now so they’re ready for the spring next year.

Callers:

  • Sandy – Her lime tree used to be a big fruit producer and now she only has 2 limes. They’re huge, but that’s the only fruit. Why would that happen?

Recommendation – We’d bring in one of the limes to a nursery to get a better idea of what’s going on. She does NOT need 2 trees to pollinate. Lime trees are self pollinator’s.  We’d replace the tree since she has another one next to it doing really well.

  • David – He has a pigme date palm and he trimmed it back to far. It’s a multi-trunk tree and one of them is doing well. What can he do to save it?

Recommendation – He could cut off the dead branches and try to save the one trunk that is still producing leaves. It will probably grow another branch, but it will take a long time. It’s a judgement call on what he wants to do based on how it looks in his yard.  We also answer his question on over-seeding and Jay talks through steps he should take.
