Question
Is there a good site to find information out about plants and tree care or a good search engine?
I just started in Aug and have the plant tags from the store but would like to know a little more about when and what they like in fertilizer, when to prune, watering, ect.
Also, I have two new weeping willows which I'm not sure about fertilizing. I planted them both at the same time one seemed to take well the other one leaves turned yellow/brown immediately......the store said as long as the branches were not crisp not to worry about it.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
I use the search engine Google.com. You can enter the plants name and you will get more information that you need. As far as the willow--the easiest way to determine if the tree is still alive is to start at the end of the branch that is yellow. brown and scrape a small part of the bark off the twig. If the color under the bark is green then the branch is alive at that point--If the color is brown then the branch is dead at that point and you should continue down the branch until you find green. You can prune the dead off.
