Experts Answer Questions At Mount Dora Men’s Garden Club
A four member panel discussed citrus pruning after the December freeze and advised delaying cuts until new growth shows damage. They recommended pruning over finger size with pruning compound and whitewash on bark, plus reduced fertilizer for cocos plumosa palms. The session covered lawn watering, ground preparation for azaleas, and follow up spraying for aphids and scale. Door prizes went to Rene Dufourd and Earl A. Anderson, and a new Florida garden Q&A volume was added to the Mount Dora Public Library.
