Last month the eight year old Carolina Jessamine in my yard was blossoming more beautifully than in any of the past years, but this weekend I noticed that it had suddenly died.To be honest, I still don't know what attacked it or caused both plants to die but it did prompt me to examine all of my landscape. After taking samples to Redenta's on Skillman and Oram I realized that this past winter was unusually hard on our plants. My pecan tree leaves have these unusually large green pimple on them (sometimes 10-12 per leaf), the black walnut tree has some type of unknown scale or bug, a hibiscus has aphids or white fly, the shrubs and roses have scale and I mentioned the Carolina Jessamine.
Both Walton's and Redenta's have provided me with excellent counsel in the past and I am sure there are other arborist and horticulturalists in the area that would also. With that said, I don't think there is a better blog out there that either addresses or links solutions to our N. Texas landscape issues. DFW Gardening Blog
Keep an eye out because my guess is that I am not the only one who is having issues.
