Should we prune mulberry tree? Where?

Should we prune mulberry tree? Where?

This ever-bearing dwarf mulberry tree is happily growing in a guild under 30% shade cloth in zone 9b Florida. Plant ID said yellowing leaves are due to too much upward growth (it’s a little over four feet tall), and said we should prune. However, I’ve also seen pruning isn’t usually done in spring/summer.

Any advice if we should prune it down any? Also not sure if any special way they need to be snipped, or how far down. Thanks in advance!

Where to prune?

We want to chop and propagate this dragonfruit, mostly want to get the horizontal growth off. Where would you recommend we cut? I put circles around each “joint” so to speak. On the vertical one, we are planning on snipping off the left.

How/where to prune?

Growing in zone 9B, Florida. Currently under 30% shade cloth. Plant ID says leaves are yellowing due to being too tall too fast, and needs to be pruned down some. It’s about four feet tall. How far down would you prune? Any certain branches that need to go? Any like tips/best practices?

Coneflower leaves suddenly wilted help!

Planted this happy coneflower on Friday. This morning it looked happy and we removed the shade cloth to give it some sun. Literally over the course of less than six hours it wilted! Pics are before and after. Watered it and covered it back up with 30% shade cloth. Any hope it will recover? We live in Florida, zone 9B.

How to keep frogs out?

Looking for something that isn’t a frog log or similar. The issue isn’t so much frogs getting in the pool , it’s that they lay tadpole eggs my family member then feels responsible for and in becomes a gigantic task lasting the whole summer.

We don’t really have the money for a good, solid pool cover right now.

I’ve read using things like white vinegar or coffee grounds around the perimeter or maybe even putting fencing around it could work? Any advice?

Hello, these dragonfruit plants had been feeling soft but not mushy like root rot or cold damage. Living in zone 9b, one is still in pot (we were preparing to propagate) and one is sowed a little over a month ago.

They feel soft and skin almost has a wrinkly quality in certain angles, they feel kind of thin and pliable. Have been getting pretty much direct light for 4 days, were in greenhouse before. Fertilized the one in the pot 5 days ago but don’t notice a difference.

Any advice?
