It’s monsoon season and summer, so we talk with Jay from Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company about what you should be doing in your yard!

  • Talking about the recent rains across the state and a phone app that shows you where the lightning is around you.
  • Rosie’s dog is dealing with a dog who’s scared of the storms. He needs a “dog whisperer!”
  • Back to the rain and how to know if you need to change your irrigation systems.
  • In August, your planting options really increase. Get the soil prepared and we discuss pre-emergent herbicides too.

Caller:

  • Maggie – She has a purple dragon tree and it has some bark problems. Is it salvageable?

Recommendation – It’s severely sunburn and the bark is cracking and peeling off.  It looks like the vascular system right beneath the bark is damaged, so it could be too late.  Jay would peel off the damaged bark and use trunk paint to protect it. (you should be doing that with all your think bark trees like citrus, etc.) It’s just a waiting game at this point.

Text From a Listener:

  • How can he get a 20 foot saguaro removed from his front yard?

Recommendation – There are specialty nurseries that can do this and will salvage them, so make a few calls to see if it can be saved, moved and not simply destroyed.
