Garden & Landscape - December 2006

the tree was poorly staked, bent over and grew downward. We staked it to grow upright but the trunk is not getting thick enough to support the tree above the original downward curve.
is there any specific treatment or product that could strenghen the bole?

I have purchased many orchids plants and killed them. After more than 3 dozens or so (I lost count) in 5 years, I finally was able to get 2 of my orchids still alive, it's been more than 6 months. One is oncidium, the other is dendrobium. I've been placing them in the bathroom window above the shower after the blooms fell. The oncidium has spiked again (yipee). The dendrobium looks okay, but I cut off the flower stems after the blooms fell months ago. Is this okay? I'm also purchasing several other orchids (1 vanda, 1 phal, 1 cymbidium and 1 cattleya). Can any of them be planted outside? Also, any tips on how to cut off the stems after blooms for each species are appreciated. For fertilizing, I read that I should fertilize every 10 days to 2 weeks. How long do I have to do this and when? Is it all year long? Is the fertilizing method the same for all orchid species? When's blooming season for each species? What type of orchid media should I use? Thank you much for the tips.

I have read other suggestions about putting aspirin in the water - how much, and how often? Or adding sugar to the water. Again, how much and how often? Finally, I read that putting alcohol in the water helps by preventing the trunk from sealing off so it will keep absorbing water. But what KIND of alcohol? (I'm hoping plain old isopropyl, not premium scotch...) Thanks!

Is it possible to revive a dead ficus? It isn't rotted, simply dried out. I want to know if my efforts will be wasted or not, lol.

As you can see from the pics the tree/bush is pretty big. You can't tell that it has white flowers on it until you start to get closer and that is why I also have a pic of the flowers. This tree bloomed around the beginning of Oct. or maybe earlier and has a wonderful sweet smell that can be smelled from two houses away. No idea what it is, niether does the home owner.

If you can see from the pic most of the leaves are smooth edged but there are some with sort of prickly or spiky edges...

PLEASE HELP :)

P.S. We live in NC and a neighbor thinks this is NOT a native tree. Another neighbor has said he thinks its from northern GA.
