2 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, May 21, 2009
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: We purchased
a home last year where the
previous owners planted two
shade trees on the west side
of the house. While they cast
shade, their roots are tear-
ing up the yard, and they’re
heading toward our beds
and the sidewalk. Do we
need to remove and replace
them?
Your trees’ roots really
are shallow, as visible from
your photo. Most trees’ roots
will be in the top foot of
soil, so replacing the trees
may not help much in the
long run. You could plant
a trailing, shade-tolerant
groundcover, such as Asian
jasmine or purple winter-
creeper euonymus, to grow
over and conceal the roots,
or you could remove one or
two roots each fall, after the
hot weather has passed. Cut
the roots where they threat-
en concrete, and consider
trenching and installing a
root barrier.
Dear Neil: Many of the

top leaves of my Dracaena
marginata suddenly are
half-sized. They look like
they’ve been chewed in half
by some kind of parasite.
What would cause that?
That is one type of dra-
caena that requires very
strong (almost full) sunlight
to succeed. Most of its prob-
lems stem from a lack of
light. Plants in dark corners
grow lanky, spindly and look
almost wilted. I couldn’t tell
from your note if the leaves
were actually chewed. If so,
there would have to be a
caterpillar, grasshopper or
other feeding pest. Unless
you have the plant outdoors,
that is almost impossible.
Dear Neil: How can I get
bluegrass out of my St. Au-
gustine? We have our lawn
sprayed every year, but the
bluegrass keeps spreading.
You need to take samples
of your weed to a garden
center and have a Texas
Certified Nursery Profes-
sional confirm exactly what
weed you have. It’s probably
not a true bluegrass, as they
won’t hold up to St. Augus-
tine in our Texas heat. Even
the common weed, annual
bluegrass seldom gets a
root-hold in St. Augustine.
You may have nutsedge or
dallisgrass instead, and the
controls for all three weeds
is quite different.

cer Awareness Month, here

GARDENER’S MAILBAG
Dear Neil: A homeowner
in our neighborhood sprayed
wasp and hornet killer, and
the drift got on their lawn.
The grass turned brown
overnight. Will it come back?
What needs to be done?
It should come back with-
out much care on your part.
It’s usually the propellant
that is used to carry the
insecticide that damages
plants’ leaves. It can ruin
branches on shrubs, but
grass is usually more resil-
ient.
Dear Neil: I am sending
photos of a dogwood tree I
planted in my yard six years
ago. It has done well un-
til this spring. It developed
buds, but it did not bloom,
and the top branches are
completely bare. It is send-
ing out shoots from around
its base. I’m afraid I’ve lost
the top. What could have
caused that?
It does appear that the top
has died. Sadly, it’s impossi-
ble to tell the possible cause
of the problem from your
very good photos. It’s going
to be something odd. I lost
two small dogwoods many
years ago because I didn’t
see a wire that had secured
a nursery tag around their
trunks. They ended up being
girdled and ruined. It could
also have been leftover dam-
age of recent droughts, or it
could have been weedkiller

recent years. Here’s what you should know.
Growing trend
According to the Yankelovich Partners Na-
tional Leisure Travel Monitor, nearly 30 per-
cent of traveling grandparents have taken at
least one trip with a grandchild over the past
year. Vacationing with your grandkids is a
great way to have fun and strengthen your
relationships, especially if you live far away
and don’t get a chance to see them that of-
ten.
Travel companies
Today there are a number of travel orga-
nizations and companies that offer special-
ized vacation packages for grandparents and
grandchildren. This is a nice way to go be-
cause they plan everything for you, with most
activities for the two generations together,
but some just for adults so you can get an oc-
casional breather.
Available in all price ranges, these tours are
typically designed for children between the
ages of 7 and 18 and are usually scheduled
in the summer, or sometimes during win-
ter breaks, when the kids are out of school.
Here are some top tour companies that will
take you and your grandkids on a fun, well-
planned vacation.

tively low-cost vacation, Elderhostel, the

TAR & CHIP SEAL
By CD Paving & Seal Coating
What is Tar & Chip Seal?
Tar & Chip Seal is a less expensive
pavement than blacktop or concrete.
It can be applied to a base surface or an
older cracked-up blacktop surface. It is a
layer of hot, liquefied asphalt tar which is
followed by a layer of 3 1/8” chip rock and
then rolled to compaction.

Volunteer 4-H leaders are the key to suc-
cessful 4-H and youth programs. They help
young people develop into responsible and
productive individuals. Working with youth
is exciting and challenging, and it provides
personal satisfaction. Young people do not
develop their understanding, attitudes and
skills overnight. They need and want guid-
ance and encouragement as they strive to
discover their own abilities. Because young
people are lively and active, 4-H volunteers
often need several different kinds of leader-
ship skills. The 4-H and Youth Development
Program has a place for you.
You can contribute as a volunteer in many
ways:
Club Manager – The club manager is the
organizational leader of a 4-H club or group.
He or she provides leadership to the organi-
zation and operation of the 4-H club.
Assistant Club Manager – The assistant
helps the club manager in needed areas and
assumes responsibility for one of the main
functions of the club.

WISE COUNTY CROSSWORD

Wise swimmers make a splash in Plano SOLUTION
The Wise County Quest Aquatics
went to a B/C swim meet in Plano May
8-10 where several members recorded
lifetime best times against teams from
all over the Metroplex.
All swimmers start in C class, and as
they post faster times at meets, they
qualify for more advanced meets. Sev-
eral Quest swimmers have posted B
times and a few have posted BB times.
This weekend our first swimmer post-
ed an A time.
Swimming for Quest Aquatics were
Caycee Holson (age 8), Sam Bowker
(10), Ethan Miles (10), Chloe Wallen
(10), Lizey Rowden (8), Millie Rowden
(6), Delanie Davis (8), and Emily Au-
gust (7).
Holson won the 50-meter back-
stroke in the 10 and under age group
with time of 37.02 seconds and logged
