Neil Sperry answers San Antonio readers' gardening questions about redbud trees, live oak leaves, Texas mountain laurels and more.
Q: My eastern redbud, albeit, leaning, seems to be healthy and has bloomed for several years. I noticed in the spring that it has an area that is moist and weeping on its trunk. Should I be concerned enough to seek a diagnosis and treatment?Yes. However, it looks like there is a significant crack developing in the trunk that will soon cause the tree to split. The seepage is from decay within that cracked area. You could certainly have a certified arborist examine the tree.
To have answered you completely, eastern mountain laurel is more commonly known and seen in garden references. It is the state flower of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. It requires moist, acidic soils. It’s uncommon in Texas. According to the website of the Missouri Botanical Gardens, all parts of it are poisonous if ingested.Q: I have a garden in South Texas where I planted an anacua tree three years ago. I water it and fertilize it, but it has not bloomed for those three years.
