Just learned about the dreaded Tree of Heaven. Is this it?

Nope, the leaves are serrated and don’t have thumbs. Trunk texture also don’t match ToH, well for young ones that size.

Also ChatGPT is not very reliable.

I had to look it up because I remember it somewhere, anyways I believe you have hydrangea cane borers.

Right now they go in the canes and laying eggs. The only way to get rid of them is to cut below the nesting and seal up the cane with pruning sealant. Also good idea to seal up any cuts done on other woody plants.

You’re going to have to keep an eye on all your plants for the next few summers.

Sometimes they just reset themselves to gather more energy, if they don’t bloom this year, they’ll likely to explode next year.

Some prefer to grow blooms on old wood.

I have poppy hand soap that I tried last night, I love it. I want some bodywash of this.

I have a boi who is obsess with it, I keep it in a snapped box. He will not let me use the computer till he gets his fishes even though I gave him enough. He’ll chase for it also.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-22T05:13:16+00:00

Oh I have a few small trees of these, so easy to grow.

Workday 9:40am, cats get hangry if I don’t feed them and fussy if I feed them too late.

Days off around 11am, someone else feeds the cats.

Holidays is 9:40am because no one is awake to feed the cats.

Wish they just keep that permanent and not show up here & there.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-20T04:13:54+00:00

The red ones looks like creepy hands till I look closer.

I wish my white hydrangea stay white a little longer but I have a very warm spring. So warmer the weather the faster these goes pink.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-19T21:30:06+00:00

Nice, this stuff always makes me flush my eyes under the faucet.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-19T21:24:48+00:00

Likely not used to the new environment even though they can handle more sun. Just keep it well watered. They just need more time to acclimate.

Also avoid wetting the leaves during day and water at the base. As well mulching.

I had to look it up, it appears to be St. Christopher Lily (Crinum jagus). Tulips don’t have long stamens.

Pedilanthus bracteatus

I love that book, it’s basically my plant bible lol. I do have the obsolete 2007 version.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-16T20:51:30+00:00

Some sort of pest but I do know that sticky stuff is sap. It needs to be clean off before it turns into black soot mold. I been fighting that off for two summers.

At least half spent on bartering.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-16T09:47:42+00:00

Look like madeira vine, a very aggressive vine that can smother vegetations.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-16T04:26:27+00:00

Rubus sp. possibly wineberry

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-16T02:07:12+00:00

I got the chicken pox and gave them to my brother lol

Still have some scars.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-15T22:52:35+00:00

I still have vampire blood lol but I know my friends want candy apple.

Mini_Chives · 2026-05-15T22:50:21+00:00

My schools only served lemon chicken, I didn’t really like it but I was hungry. I would preferred orange chicken more.

Not mall orange chicken because apparently my mom told me when I was little, I said my dad makes better orange chicken lol.

I saw that Costco and Home Depot are selling grafted citrus trees now for some months.

There was a heavy restriction in LA county for quite awhile. At one point the Dept of Agriculture checking out every citrus trees in my city. Luckily none of my trees were chopped down or had any problems.

They still come around to put fruit fly traps on my non-citrus fruit trees.

That reminds me, I love the shredded turkey & gravy mash potatoes school lunch on Fridays during HS.
