Additionally, this annual shed helps rid the trees of less-efficient foliage: Needles typically last for…
Extreme heat is becoming more common in the West, and you might think all plants would suffer equally. But some thrive with strong sun and high temperatures. We say It’s hot! and they say Bring it on!  Crepe Myrtle varieties with tribal names like Arapaho and Zuni are disease resistant and look good year round. The hotter, the better. Oleander loves the heat. Dwarf varieties like Little Red’ and Petite Salmon’ grow to just 4-5 ft tall and wide, so they never need pruning if planted in the right spot. Grevillea species are native …
Have you ever noticed that professionally maintained lawns look slightly taller in summer? You might think the crews are running behind on their mowing schedule, but actually this is an industry best practice for helping turf to thrive in our long, dry summers. Allowing the lawn to grow a bit taller makes it harder for weed seeds to reach the soil, and if they do, they receive less sunlight so may not germinate. Also, the soil line stays cooler in the face of hot summer sun when the grass is allowed to grow a little higher. …

In case you nearly missed it, we’re just reaching the end of California Poppy season! This is Eschscholzia californica, California’s state flower and a familiar roadside weed. Plants reach only 1-2 feet tall, and they grow well without water or fertilizer in the Bay Area. Orange is the most common color, but you can find them in many shades, including red, pink, pale yellow, and even white. You sometimes hear that it is illegal to cut our state flower, but that’s not exactly true.
