Hortiscope: Pill bugs could indicate soil too moist
Q: I have a jade plant that seems to be doing very well. I’ve had it for about four months. However, I am finding bugs in the dirt around the base of the plant. What are these light- to medium-brown insects that are less than an inch in length and curl up like a snail when I touch them? How do I get rid of them without damaging the plant?

Hortiscope: Check with state about invasive species list
I read your response to a question about transplanting eastern red cedar. Red cedar trees are terribly invasive. While traveling much of the U.S., we heard over and over how these trees are spreading west because of transplanting and sales. The states that have them say these trees are taking over native trees.

Hortiscope: Use conifers for cattle protection shelterbelt
Q: I have a row of 20 pyramidal arborvitaes. They are narrow, cylindrical and bushy all the way to the top (not pointy like emerald greens.) They bend over during heavy snowfalls, and I have to tie them upright every spring. They are getting too big to do this every year. I was going to try to tie them upright this fall, but we just got hit with that crazy snowstorm here on the East Coast.

Hortiscope: Freezing walnuts makes cracking easier
Q: I have a question about black walnuts. We get plenty of black walnuts from our trees, but I’ve never thought much about using them. I always let the squirrels have them. This year, I wanted to make a black walnut pound cake. Do I wash the shells and let them dry or just lay them out and let them dry before I crack open the shells?

Hortiscope: Jade plant overwatered, not getting enough light
Q: I need some advice. I have jade plants that are growing nicely. However, they reach a certain point where they get top heavy and bend over. Short of propping them up with sticks, how do I get them to grow stronger stems? Am I overwatering? Do I need bigger pots? Please help if you can.
