I used to live in the nice cool climates of Maine and upstate New York which seem to be made for no reason other than growing apples. But now that I'm in South Carolina, can anyone tell me which varieties grow best here, and any little tips you might have about keeping the trees happy in the hot, hot sun? Temperatures here get up around 100F late in summer.

Hi,
I moved into a new house this summer and the landscaping included a whole lot of really nice hydrangeas. With winter coming, I`m wondering how I should trim them/cover them up before snowfall. The leaves at the base have started to grow yellow already.

I live in montreal, Canada so when winter comes, it really comes.

I just put down some weed kill (I'll probably spray again for good measure and to get rid of my wild onions) and I was wondering if after they're completely dead if I need to physically go out there and pull out the weeds, or do they decompose on their own without me having to pull out the roots. Thanks!

I have a garden vac and to be honest its a bit of a pain as it wont lift wet leaves and when it does lift leaves, the bag fills up very quickly. Also, the vac is very heavy and hurts my shoulder after using it for a while. I will rake leaves off the lawn or tarmac but it is a nusance to rake them off stones or flowerbeds with mulch or compost. Do you think a leaf blower would be any better for this - to blow the leaves into one area where they can be easily lifted? Can you advise please?

In other words, how long should the stubs be left? On one hand, I heard I don't want them right up to the trunk as it's bad for the tree; on other, it doesn't look good if they are sticking out.

Please advise.

I'm in Zone 5, and Now that winter is approaching i need to know what to do with some of my perrenials. I know it depends on what kind i have, but here is my question:
In General, why is it that some say to cut down dead foliage and branches of perennial shrubs in the Winter AND some say to do it in the Spring??? What is the difference in WHEN I do it?
ALSO, when I do cut down, should I do it all the way to the ground?

what is the name of a deciduous, tropical or semi-tropical, oval leafed shrub that produces panicles of deep pink (fuchsia colored), waxy /succulent looking stellar ( pointed star shaped)shaped flowers, around one inch diameter, with a blue, spherical/ berry-like in the center of each flower? Can provide photo to post somewhere if needed for identification. Saw this plant in temperate-semi tropical area in N. Italy and told it was not native, a sub-tropical plant.

I'm looking for the name of a tree-like shrub that mkes small, 5 point star shaped, waxy dark pink-fuchsia colored flowers with purpish blue ball in the center. These flowers are about 1 inch diameter, surrounding what I think is this tiny purplish blue round fruit. The shrub-tree is deciduous, it has large,(about the size of an adult hand) smooth oval leaves, growing in clusters of two at a time from the stem . Before the pink flowers, the bush makes fragrant white flowers that smell lemony. The leaves themselves don't have a good fragrace.

Im having trouble finding a decent gardener, the quotes I have had were really expensive, and then when I did get a reasonable quote, he left the job halfway through, not doing what I said to do. Others don't bother turning up or ringing back. How do I find one that will not rip me off and do the job properly and turn up!??
