JENE'S TROPICALS - SWEET TALK: THE SUGAR APPLE EPISODE

🍂 It’s the end of October in Florida — the air’s kinda crisp, the leaves are kinda turning, and your garden’s definitely judging you. Have you finished your fall pruning yet? Better leaf no branch untrimmed, because time is running out faster than a squirrel in a pecan grove!

This week, Jene digs deep (pun absolutely intended) into all things shrub-tacular — from planting and pruning to the fertilizer fiascos you’ll want to avoid. Learn the root of good landscape care and avoid the mulch-itude of mistakes that can trip up even seasoned gardeners.
