Whether you are new to roses or experienced, Master Gardener Kay Havens will inform and inspire you.
2 podcast1Citrus is a $3.3 billion industry in California and it is currently under threat from one of the tiniest insects and the disease it carries.
This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we will detail the threat of the Asian Citrus Psyllid and HLB (Huanglongbing – just one name of this disease). If infected, the tree will die. Many of us gardeners have backyard citrus trees.
However, simple sharing and moving of plant material between gardens (and even countries) can unknowingly spread the disease. This is how it started in Southern California. Since the introduction, there are currently quarantine zones covering half of Orange County!
Join Ann Liu, UC Master Gardener, as she talks with Jennifer Pelham, (former) Horticulture Advisor of UCANR (University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources) on this subject. This threat is so dangerous that a major orange juice producer has offered $1 million to help find a cure! For more immediate information on this including the quarantine zone map, refer to www.californiacitrusthreat.org.

This presentation is a great refresher on the basics such as selection, planting, care and feeding, integrated pest management and pruning of roses.
This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, your host, UCCE Master Gardener Teena Spindler, will talk to fellow Master Gardener Kay Havens about one of the most popular flowering plants in Southern California gardens.
The topic is Roses – Choosing, Pruning, and Care. So many roses, so little space! So many PETALS, too! Did you know that English Roses with about 50 petals don't do well near the coast where it's cooler?
But others with as few as four petals will do great. So learn the different types of roses to choose as the best for your garden space or use for the flowers. Bareroot plants are available now so pick the best ones. To rejuvenate existing roses, learn pruning ABCs and steps to take now to control pests and disease all season. You can take the show right out to your garden and walk through the tasks with Kay as she tells you exactly what to do to get your roses ready for the coming year.
