I have this customer and i got her for about 7 months. I do her lawn 4x/ month. she has a juniper shrub, I believe is a sea green, but not 100% sure. Well It was shaped like an egg, but now its like the outsides of the shrub are falling to the sides and its no longer shaped like it used to , now theres like a big space in the middle.. How can i get it back to its shape? do I trim it a lil? and then maybe wrap it with something?
I just started my business last summer. I dont want her to fire me cause i dont know a lot about plants and shrubs yet. But this is how you get that knowledge.
Anny body ?/
thanks for your help.
Juniper shrub reshaping. i believe its a juniper sea green.?
This isn't going to be an 'easy fix'.
There's too much weight on the branches, which are causing it to open. We as homeowners tend to trim our shrubs using a technique called 'tip pruning'. That is, using electric shears (invented, by the Devil) or manual hedging shears. By cutting time and time again over the same tips, you develop heavy growth on the 'outside' of the shrub, while the inside dies out, creating a sort of 'shrub shell'.
You need to 'open' the plant, and allow sunlight to penetrate into the juniper, so that you get more growth in there. That will thicken up the plant and eventually solve the problem.
You should remove some of the weight from the edges.
The bad news: It will probably ruin the shape of the shrub for 4-6 or more years as you 'recover' the plant. Does the customer want that? probably not.
I'd find out if she "LOVES" the shrub first. Tell her it's aged past its prime, that the pruning is the cause of the problem, and that it might take years to fix the problem. You might then recommend that you can remove it for her, and replace it with a better choice of shrub for that kind of pruning, or if she'd rather have the same, you can do that too. You might loose her if you ruin her shrub, but if you give her some options, you might turn into her hero.
Good luck
I hope that this helps
Reply:Sounds like her juniper is older and growing unevenly. You could tie up the outer branches to the inside ones and then reshape. Usually when a juniper die in the center, it does not grow out. They are touchy shrubs and can burn easily over the winter on any given side and it won't grow back. Think "lightly" when trimming them...
Reply:Try tying them up with cloth strips to give them support. Don't use wire or rope. Junipers respond well to pruning as long as it isn't overdone. However, you can prune the new growth almost all the way. Leave a wisp of green that parallels the branches you are removing. Whatever you do, never shear a juniper or arborvitae -- that literally ruins the natural form of these otherwise graceful plants. Junipers respond to annual pruning in summer quite well.

Did Shrub II get his daddy's money back from Bin Laden yet?
How about Saddam? Reagan and Shrub I paid money to Saddam and Bin Laden and now Bush wants to kill Bin Laden and has killed Saddam. I wonder if Bin Laden attacked our country with money given to him by the Shrubs and Raygun.
Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be friends with either of the Shrubs!!

You might want to read your link. It does not state that Reagan gave money to Osama Bin Ladin. It only states that money was given to the Afghani resistance to the Soviet occupation known as the mujahideen. (your opinion source biasly fails to mention the Soviets). Osama Bin Ladin left Saudi and supported the fight against the Soviets as well. No money was given directly to him, to be used over a decade later to fund terrorist attacks. As a matter of fact, he gave his own money to the cause.

Dead shrub in the front yard...?
My new house has a dead (looking) shrub in the front yard. First off, we live in an area that has very untalented landscapers working the outside. We have no say in what they do. Anyway, so, getting to my new house, there is a bush/shrub in the yard that looks dead, and I don't know what to do. They use the same shrubs all over here, and I've seen a good tenth of them just dead looking. No sign of mold or bugs, and they're usually an ok size, so it can't be because of the location, otherwise they wouldn't have grown in the first place. Pretty much, all the "landscapers" do is cut off the branches that look dead, and if it doesn't start to grow more leaves, that's just less they have to do. It's ugly, and I don't really know what to do to bring it back to health.
Dead shrub in the front yard...?
It would be most helpful to know what the shrub is and where you are. Are you sure it's dead? It could just be dormant. A lot of perennial shrubs go to sleep for the winter and as a result they drop their leaves. It may come back in the Spring.
Addition: Okay, one way to tell if there is any life left in the shrub is to cut a branch or skin it like you would a potato. If there is any green then there is hope to bring it around. If there is green then I would suggest that you start watering at least once a week and try some miracle gro to give it a boost and see if it will come around. However, if there is no green then I would just pull it out. You are probably correct about the landscaping. I think contractors just shove stuff into the ground so they can make their properties more attractive for the moment and give little thought to the actual care and maintenance of the plants.
Reply:since some in the same area are perfectly fine, but yours looks dead, there is a possibility that it is DEAD and not dormant.
Can you describe the leaves? What shape are they? How big? What color (deep dark green, light green with white markings, etc)? How tall is the plant? How big around? Lots of stems or one main stem with little branches coming off of it?
It's a little early yet to apply any fertilizer, by the way. :)
Reply:I think Georgia had a severe drought last year so the bush may be dead but the only way to tell for sure is to give it at least 6 months to come back to life. You can't tell for sure if other people's bushes are the same as yours if they don't look alike right now? Right? When you see the caretakers you ask them.
Reply:The most sane approach to the problem is to first identify the shrub because if you do not its like having yourself diagnosed for a disease through the telephone and when the doctor asked where the pain is and you say somewhere in my
body.
So, at least ask a neighbor who has been long in the area and ask for the name. Or bring a branch from the healthy shrub in your neighborhood and a branch from yucky looking shrub and bring both to your nearest nursery and ask the name of the shrub or better even ask: what is wrong with your shrub?
Reply:One mistake a lot of people make when they buy shrubs or trees is that they buy the ones in black plastic pots that have been in the sun. The root zone in the pot can get to 140 degrees or higher which will cook the roots. plants may look ok the first year but usually die the second. Of course they have lived a year so the suppliers will tell you they were ok last year( they were dead but didn't show it yet) so they wont replace the plants. I suspect some of the ones contractors planted in your area were of this type.

I have a large shrub with a tree growing up through it?
I have what I believe to be a shrub which is seven foot high and has started to flower. I live in the west country (UK) It produces a mass of yellow flowers each year that look a little like Heliopsis. They are not heliopsis because they are small, 3/4 of an inch across. It is a quite common plant.
Growing up through this shrub is a tree. Because I try and cut the tree back each year it sends out several branches making it grow like a shrub as well. I don't know the name of either.
The tree is very vigorous and although I have tried to remove it completely it keeps coming back as the roots seem to go a long way and it is impossible to remove them all without destroying the yellow flowering shrub it is growing up through.
Is there a method or a product I can use to poison the unwanted tree without harming the flowering shrub?
Many thanks in advance for any answers.
I have a large shrub with a tree growing up through it?
If the shrub flowers without leaves in Spring its probably a forsythia, if it has leaves and flowers later its probably a rose of sharon (st John's Wort). Either way new plants are very cheap you can often get them in supermarkets for a couple of pounds. The tree sounds like ash (stalks are very 'bendy'). They are a devil to get rid of. You could plant a dense shrub like Choisya or hebe which will block the light to the tree and slow growth to a manageable level, otherwise you will have to poison it. SBK works well (stump and brushwood killer).

The second source addresses killing a tree without chemicals. It's do-able, but takes time. Another way to address the problem is by cutting it down and using a stump removal process - naturally accelerated or chemically accellerated.

you might have to de leaf the shrub in the low area when you

Reply:chop the tree down as far as you can go,then either use a 'tree stump killer'or if you dont want to use chemicals, drill some holes through the stump and fill them with salt, or again drill holes and criss cross marks and make very wet, so that the stump will rot.

I would probably dig up both of them (digging and chopping at the roots after cutting the tree down) using a maddox (double headed axe). You have to be careful not to bounce it off a wall or fence and hit your head with the other end of the axe though.
You could then maybe separate some of the bush from the tree roots and re-plant it someplace else for awhile and then put a big bunch of rock salt in the hole to kill off the tree roots.
Or you could buy a new bush or take a cutting with rooting hormone and try to grow a new bush.
Or else cut the tree down to a stump and put weed killer on the stump or keep painting it with a salt solution to kill it by dehydration, but then the roots could come back up at a distance underground.
Reply:The main stem and the above soil growth of the unwanted tree can be killed by ring-barking,as follows.
Using a sharp knife,carefully remove a strip of bark 25-50mm completely encircling the tree.
Make the cut as near to ground level as possible,ensure that the clean white wood is exposed.
This will interrupt the flow of sap,feeding the tree and all the plant above the cut will die off.
Note that the roots will still persist and may,in time,throw up suckers.
Reply:Cut the tree at its base and use a cut vine and stump killer on it. This is available at most nurseries and works extremely well. You just put a few drops on the exposed cut surface of the stump. Its possible that the plant might sucker and put up another shoot or two, but just do the same thing to those.
I use it all the time in my yard with great results. The stuff I have is red and contains something called triclopyr.

Shrub turn yellow, how to deal with it?
The shrub on one side of my house started to turn yellow since two weeks ago, the same shrub on another side still keep green, this is the evergreen shrub, with small red fruit in the fall, I am not sure its name.
Could you please help me out? Thanks.
Shrub turn yellow, how to deal with it?
Is it a yew? Yews are evergreen and get fall red berries. Yews hate to have their feet wet. Is a down spout or your sump pump pouring water onto that side of the yew? Divert the water source away from the roots of a yew. I doubt that it would be a fertilizer deficiency since its just one side of the plant. Fertilizer deficiencies affect the color of the entire plant, not just one branch. Disease signs like a yellow branch can show in just one area, multiple areas, or the entire plant depending upon the stage of progression. A disease usually starts in one small part of the plant and spreads to the entire plant over time. You can tell if its a disease if you monitor the plant and see that its spreading over time. Sometimes you can see fungal fruiting bodies develop. These will be dark/light spots, bumps etc. on the needles.
Reply:Coperas - an iron fertilizer. Or poke rusty nails (metal) around the drip line.
Reply:I think that your shrub could have a disease because my evergreen plant has started to go yellow, and someone said it has probably got a disease (for plants only) I don't know what the disease is called though, but you could look it up.
Reply:An acidic fertilizer may help, there are several to choose from for evergreen's. Also make sure the soil has good drainage around the shrub.
