Tryon Daily Bulletin, Eri., Dec. 2 Garden Clinic N. C. State University Answers Timely Gardening Questions Q. Can we grow apricots in the Raleigh area? (G. F., Raleigh) A. You would be growing the trees just for shade. Apricot blooms early and the blooms freeze nearly every year. So your chances of getting fruit are small. (Mel Kolbe, extension horticulturist) Q. Which species of maples are recommended for landscape trees in North Carolina? (H. T., High Point) A. The sugar, red and Norway maples. All provide excellent shade in summer and brilliant colors of red, orange and yellow in the fall. The Silver maple, on the other hand, is not recommended as a landscape tree. The wood is brittle, and the root system often causes problems with sidewalks, drives and septic tanks. (Bill Stanton, extension forest resources specialist) Q. Can I transplant a native dogwood at this time of year? (P. B., Arcadia) A. Yes. Dogwoods should be transplanted during the dormant season. Be sure to dig plenty of soil and roots when you move it. Have the new planting site ready and plant the tree immediately. This will prevent the roots from drying out. I would limit the size of the tree to five or six feet, and would try to have a rootball of 20 to 24 inches in diameter. Always handle the tree by the rootball, never by the stem. Dogwood prefer full sun and good drainage. (Kim Powell, extension landscape horticulturist) Q. Please give me some tips for caring for the lovely poinsettia I received at Christmas. (Mrs. E. C., West End) A Place your poinsettia in the sunniest portion of the room. Avoid cold drafts. Keep the temperature under 70 degrees during the day and above 50 degrees at night Punch a hole in the foil to let excess water escape. Water your plant thorouglily, making sure a small amount of water drips through the drainage hole. Fertilize the poinsettia if you plan to keep it a couple of months. Use a soluble, complete fertilizer, such as 20-20- 20, twice each month.
