Question
I have an outdoor jasmine (planted on the north side of the house in my central Florida home) that has been doing well since planted in late May.  I fertilized it once with a spray  in early July. It is now about 30" high and  24" wide.  It has been raining a lot (since June) and is quite windy here, but it is in very well drained, sandy ground. It is still blooming ok.   More than 1/3 of  the plant is now totally bare.  Why would this happen?  What can I do to correct it?

Answer
Hi Dawn,

My experience and expertise is limited to indoor potted plants, so your question is outside my area of expertise. I suspect that your Jasmine needs pruning, but you should check with a gardening expert who is familiar with your particular climate.
