In Studio with John Jay of Harper’s Nursery, the new President of the Arizona Nursery Association!
Romey got the opportunity to see the new WWII memorial in Downtown Phoenix after an event with Hickman Family Farms.
Tip of the Week: what plants can you give for a gift? Christmas Cactus; Amaryllis Bulb; pre-seeded pot.
Also joining us is Jim Rupe of Monrovia for those asking what about some plant ideas for the Northern country? Austrian Black Pine; Dwarf Spruce; Pinion Pine; living Christmas Tree – if you are going to transplant them to your yard, take the time to give them a transition into the garage first.
Check out Watters Garden in Prescott for the plant, and the display pots. Poinsettia’s are always an option. They can be outside during the day up North, but be sure to bring them right back in. They now come in a variety of colors and types.
Callers:
Go ahead and get them in the ground – Phoenix cold isn’t too cold for the Bulbs.
Make it up to the Christmas City of Arizona.
Not too late to plant something – for up North, pansies and ornamental kale are great choices. In Phoenix, be sure to cover your more tropical plants.
Callers:
Chinese Pistachio’s will give you good color with the changes of seasons. Check out the Arizona Pistachio Growers. You need to pollinate the Pistachio tree to get fruit.
You still need to water this time of year – below and above the rim. You can get by with ¼ of what you water in June-July.
Callers:
Keep your eye open for a beetle. Spinosad will be your best bet.

Have your solar company remove solar panels, but leave the expansions, so the roofer can seal as clearly as possible.
