Question
My gardinia bushes are so big they are taking up part of my sidewalk. When and how should they be trimmed and fertilized? Also, I have gotten rid of the white bugs but my bushes still look sick.

Answer
Hey Hal How r u? They can get out of control i know! early spring u can prune and shape them.This is the best time to this.Gardinias also like to be fertilized monthly with a high acid count fertilizer.You can find a product for azaleas n gardinias n u will be fine good luck n keep me posted!!
