April 28, 2018A.Gardenia tubifera is a variety that has color-changing flowers- they darken from white to yellow to almost orange as the flowers age. Most gardenia varieties have flowers that stay white, though. It depends on the plant's genetics.

May 9, 2018A.Oh no! That may be a tough one to come back from.
Watch for signs of growing back from the roots, that's the best hope I can offer!

Johns Island, SC near Charleston SC. I believe zone 8. About 2 miles from the coast(ocean).Q.Gardenia Plants
There are tiny black crawling insects on our Gardenia flowers. Not on the plant itself or buds just on the open flowers. I have sprayed with NEEM and Sevin. The problem is that they are only on the flowers as they bloom. They may even be flying insects but they are almost microscopic and appear to be crawling on the flowers. These are mini Gardenias and each flowers has an abundance of these black bugs.

Certified ExpertA.If you can include a photo, it may help me to identify the pest. This sounds like a few different pests. Most can be killed off with home-made pesticides, however.
This collection of articles will give you ideas on how to craft your own pesticides, along with many other articles that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic

May 22, 2018Q.Wart-Like Growths on Gardenia Trees
Our beautiful Gardenia tree is struggling. It has developed some ugly large black "bunion" type growths on the joints of the larger branches. They are very hard and lumpy, range from 2-3 inches in diameter, and seem to have developed from the inside out. The bottom branches aren't blooming at all and the leaves are sparse and yellowing. The top of the tree is still trying to bloom and looks a bit healthier, but I am worried that the "infection" will ultimately take over the tree and kill it. What is this and what can be done?
