HEALTHY TIDBITS Hortiscope: Disease, not fertility issue, caused tulip sparsity 
Q: I am working on the scale insects on my orange tree. I have been using Bonide systemic for four weeks and also cleaning off the new scales. How long does a systemic killer take to clear up the problem? Is there an advantage to wiping off the scales with rubbing alcohol or is water OK?

Q: I have a couple of questions related to fall lawn preparation. I have some large areas of crabgrass in my lawn, so I am wondering how I can get rid of it before winter hits. Should I apply Roundup on the plants and then reseed? Is there an easier way to deal with crabgrass?

Hortiscope: Watering, calcium both related to end rot

Hortiscope: Tomatoes cracking due to water pressure
Q: Can you tell me why my tomatoes crack? I water regularly and fertilize with tomato spikes. Otherwise, the plants look healthy. We had the same problem last year, so we changed the variety, but it didn’t help. I would appreciate if you could help me.

Hortiscope: Japanese beetle likely culprit
Q: I planted a hibiscus shrub that gets flowers the size of a dinner plate. I’ve had the plant for three years. This year, it is much bigger and loaded with buds. I was so excited until I noticed the buds are yellowing and something’s eating the leaves. The leaves look like lacy Swiss cheese.
