July 14: A Fungus Among Us

In the 10 years that I've been a homeowner, not once have I ever experienced an issue with the trees or bushes garnering my landscape. Of course, I've had the occasional plant die on me or I've uprooted a living plant in exchange for something new, but never an issue caused by nature herself. That streak ended today when my Natural Way consultant confirmed that both crab trees in the front yard had some fungus living in it, and that my holly and boxwood in the front flower bed were infested with insects. Fun stuff, huh? So, next Monday, the Natural Way crew will be out for the first installment of a 4-spray treatment for the bushes and a 2-spray treatment for the crab trees. You just gotta love Mother Nature...
