Executive Board Meetings The 2014 Executive Board Meetings for the Ascension Parish Master Gardener Association are scheduled on Tuesdays: AscensionMasterGardeners March 11, May 13, July 8, September 9, November 11 at 9:00 a.m., at the LSU AgCenter office at Lamar-Dixon. The board looks forward to serving the association and welcomes suggestions and comments.
2 Well the novelty of a snow day was quick to wear off once we reached our fourth encounter with the wintery mix! Did Mother Nature forget this is South Louisiana?!? As soon as Papa Noel leaves in his pirogue, we are breaking out the T-shirts and shorts and planning our crawfish boils! With record freezes and a Groundhog who saw his shadow, our citrus trees are going to suffer this year. As Allen Owings recently reported from the Hammond Research Station, We mostly think about citrus trees when cold weather approaches. Satsumas and kumquats are most cold-hardy of the citrus commonly grown in Louisiana. Orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime trees are less cold-hardy. The damage may vary depending on the age, health, site, acclimation and duration of cold temperature to which the tree is exposed. Damage occurs because the tree s circulatory system is frozen and portions of the plant are deprived of nutrients and water. Damage may be mild, appearing as brown spots or patches on the leaves, in which case the tree will recover and grow; Or severe, with both leaves and stems becoming brown. Even in cases where up to 90% of the leaves fall, the tree may still force new buds and produce abundant flowers. However, fruit set may be low or none. If leaf loss is less than 30%, a normal crop of fruit may be expected. In the cases of young trees with substantial stem damage, the entire tree may be lost. So what do you do now??? Absolutely nothing!! There is no need to grab the pruning shears until after the spring growth appears and full damage can be assessed. In fact, pruning may be counterproductive as it may actually stimulate faster bud activity before danger of frost has entirely past. Some experts recommend waiting until May to prune so that fruit is set and you can see where on the tree it is. You can also check to see what part of stem is live by scraping the bark with your fingernail and looking for the green phloem (live) verses a brown or rotted core. Freeze injured citrus will need plenty of water and good fertilizer to restore canopy and foliage growth. One positive to the cold weather, according to Owings, is that chilling hour accumulation is above average this winter. Many fruit trees and some landscape plants require a certain number of chilling hours during the dormant season. Hostas and dormant, semi-evergreen daylilies benefit from having hours of chilling during the winter instead of the hours south Louisiana normally receives. Through January 7, we have had 450 chilling hours at the Hammond Research Station this winter. Of course, that may be the only bright spot to this cold weather!!! Cold Weather Brings Landscape Troubles..Allen Owings, 1/10/14

In fact, the National Climatic Data Center says that The groundhog has shown no talent for predicting the arrival of spring, especially in recent years. "Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream." - Barbara Winkler The planting of the AMG Community Citrus Garden will take place on Saturday, February 15th, 12:30 at Dutchtown Animal Hospital (13604 Eads Rd). Please bring shovels, gloves, etc as we hope to have 20 citrus trees planted by days end!!
