Plant Expert Answers Questions

Channel 6 News invited plant expert John Fech onto our Midday newscast Thursday to answer viewer questions about their lawn & garden.

Before we had a chance to ask a question, Fech did a little show & tell. He told us about a small low-maintenance tree that you might consider for your home.

That tree is a Japanese True Lilac.

View the attached video for that and his answers to the following questions:

My cactus keeps producing more cacti on top. Is it okay to let that keep going?

What are the best flowers for hanging baskets?

What are the best cut flowers for vases, if I want them to last longer than others?

What is the best plant to cover up an ugly brick wall?

What kills ragweed the best?

Is it too late to apply grub control?

I throw coffee grounds onto my garden. It helps keep deer away, but is it okay for the plants?

How often should I water fruit trees that were planted a year ago?
