BARK QUIZ: Today’s quiz tree, Fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus), gets its name from the showy, fragrant flowers it displays in May. Fruit, somewhat resembling olives, will develop on female trees and turn bluish-black in late summer.

Learn more about the tree’s characteristics and care from the fact sheet at MGNV.ORG.

Garden Tip of the Day: Place a bottle or cup on the end of a tall pole or stake in the garden to avoid accidentally getting stabbed by the sharp point. If the pole is hollow, this also prevents it from filling up with rain water and becoming a mosquito breeding spot.

Are your tomato plants staked or caged yet?

RESTORING NATURE: Spraying pesticides for mosquitoes seems like an easy solution, but that procedure is not particularly effective. Fogging affects only about ten percent of adult mosquitoes and not their larvae, while killing pollinators and many beneficial insects as well.
Strategies for enjoying your yard without spraying include:
• Using fans on a patio or deck to keep mosquitoes at bay
• Wearing pants and long sleeves
• Applying a mosquito repellent with DEET, Picaridin, Lemon Oil of Eucalyptus, or IR-3535 (Merck 3535)
• Applying permethrin to clothing only (clothes, boots, shoes) or buying clothes pre-treated with permethrin
