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 two live oak trees, one in my front yard the other in my back yard. The one in the front is green and beautiful. The tree in my back yard looks like it died - all of the leaves turned brown. When my lawn care service came to inspect the tree (after I asked them to remove it) showed me that the tree is sprouting new green leaves. What is going on with my tree? We had a rainy summer and it gets direct sunlight. Brenda; San Antonio

    Soil Questions, Tree Questions

    Sounds like you may have soil problems, from what you have described I imagine it is a fungal problem. Try our Sick Tree Treatment and mix it with horticultural corn meal then spread the mixture over the root zone of the tree (basically as far as the branches go out) and water it in. If you do not see any results within a couple of weeks I would recommend you take a sample of the soil from around the tree and send it off for analysis. You could have a deficiency in some area that is causing the tree so much stress. Below is the link to Texas Plant and Soil lab, they are located in Edinburgh and are very good. Let me know how it goes.
