2 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 10, 2011By NEIL SPERRYDear Neil: A friend haswo gardenias in Southexas. They are always yelow.They’re morehan 30 years old,ut they do bloom.hey were fertilzedonce with azaea/gardenia/caelliafood. Whathould be done toelp them?That sounds likeron deficiency.If they were myplants, I’d trimand reshape themthis winter, even ifit cost me the spring’s flowers.I would apply a highnitrogenfertilizer every sixto eight weeks until latesummer, and I’d add ironaround them monthly startingin April. (Keep iron productsoff concrete, brick andother surfaces that could bestained.)Dear Neil: I bought a sixfootpotted bur oak tree threeyears ago. It has grown taller,but it hasn’t branched.
