I have a beautiful 35 yr old sugar maple in my front yard. I have been told that it is suffering from verticillum wilt. I would LOVE to save this tree is there anything I can do now that might save it next spring? I am so sad to loose this beautiful tree. Thank you in advance.

Light – Place it near a sunny window. South, east or west facing windows are preferable to a north facing window. Poinsettias are tropicals and will appreciate as much direct sunlight as you can provide.
Heat – To keep the poinsettia in bloom as long as possible, maintain a temperature of 65 – 75 degrees F. during the day. Dropping the temperature to about 60 degrees F. at night will not hurt the plant. However, cold drafts or allowing the leaves to touch a cold window ca injure the leaves and cause premature leaf drop. If you’ve ever see a gangly poinsettia in bloom, with only a couple of sad looking leaves hanging on, it was probably exposed to temperatures that were too cool or extreme shifts in temperature.
Water – Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in water. Wilting is another common cause of leaf drop. A wilted plant can be revived and salvaged, but it will take another season to improve its appearance.

Free Gloves with min. $35 gift card purchase!
With any gift card purchased (minimum of $35), you will receive a pair of pink gloves for free! You can also contribute by simply buying the gloves. For each pair of gloves sold 70 cents will go directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the global leader in breast cancer research. A perennial top rated 4-star charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is praised by Charity Navigator as “consistently executing its mission in a fiscally responsible way and outperforming most other charities in America.” This stellar organization has invested nearly 1.5 billion dollars since its inception and shows no sign of letting up until a cure is finally found.
Hope abounds in the fight against breast cancer – the five year survival rate for breast cancer is now above 98%, compared with just 74% in 1982. However, without a clearly know cause or cure, the fight is now more relevant and monumental than ever. A startling one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer within their lifetimes.
Please join us in raising awareness and money in the fight against breast cancer. In a story I am sure a sad majority of people can relate to, I recently watched a friend battle with breast cancer. Thankfully in remission, after a terrifying year of financial woe and emotional uncertainty, her breast cancer and the hope for a cure is firmly planted in my mind. For her and the millions of others out there let’s fight this battle with them. And we can do it, one pair of pink gloves at a time.
The Gift Card and Glove Promotion runs May 1st through Mother’s Day (May 9th!).
