Q. I have oxalis clover look-alike as a weed. How can I control it? I am
ready to use chemicals at this point having tried to rid it by digging and
pulling with no success. Having it in my grass is bad enough but now that it is
in my iris beds I want to kill the dang stuff!

Thanks to Hunter for Advanced Irrigation Control at the Orchard
A really big thanks goes out to Hunter Industry and in particular Nate Gould out of Phoenix, Arizona. Nate offered to provide the UNCE orchard in North Las Vegas with a state-of-the-art Hunter ACC Irrigation Clock. This definitely brings the UNCE Orchard into the 21st Century!

Q. I have used Italian cypress in moderate climates with
very good success but now I will be moving to the desert in Pahrump on one acre

special I need to consider planting these in a desert climate?
Should a License Be Required to Carry a Hedge Shears?
What was not forseen in the advent of desert landscaping was the dramatic change in pruning techniques
brought in by the landscape industry. Hand pruners and loppers were
gone. Hedge shears were in.

Still Afraid to Prune Your Lantana?
You may have either the purple lantana or the multi-colored lantana. Most of it died back during the winter. But where to cut? What if I cut it back too far. Will I kill it? Even in February you still have time.
