Ask The Expert
Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

I have a mountain ash that developed a fungus last summer. I sprayed the fungus with isopropal alcohol and that seemed to keep it in check. The tree had very few buds last year and didn't fair well over the summer. It has almost no buds this year except in a few areas. Can I save this tree as it provides shade to our front south facing window?

Potassium Bicarbonate, Tree Questions
Garden-Ville has a product called Potassium Bicarbonate that will kill off the fungus in a couple of applications and will not harm the tree. In addition to the Potassium Bicarbonate you might also want to spread horticultural corn meal around the base of the tree and water it in, the corn meal and the potassium bicarbonate should take care of any fungal problems you have. After the fungus is gone spread compost around the drip line of the tree to build up the health of the tree and make it less susceptible to other diseases. Garden-Ville has a product called Sick Tree Treatment that is great for helping diseased trees along and is available in 40# bags. All products mentioned above are available at any Garden-Ville location or on our website.
