Spring is here and that means new growth on your plants and multiplying insects looking for homes on that new growth. Australian Brush Cherry (Eugenia or Szygium) are hosts to the Eugenia Psyllid adults, eggs, and nymphs (crawlers). Psyllids suck plant juices, produce sticky honeydew which attracts sooty mold and distort and discolor new leaf growth, eventually causing defoliation and die back.

Who says roses are the only flowers for Valentine’s Day? Why not buy your Sweetheart a living Valentine’s Day gift rather than a dozen, overpriced roses that will be dead in a week?

Looking around the landscape in the middle of winter can be a rather dreary proposition. The cold night temperatures take their toll on frost-sensitive plants and even plants that are considered cold hardy can start to look a bit rough around the edges. Until you come across this show-stopper! Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Sticks on Fire’ has actually gotten better looking with the cooler temperatures. The yellow, orange and red colors of this plant have intensified and it truly looks like ‘Sticks on Fire.’
