May 22, 2019Q.Gardenias
This year during the winter our gardenia tree has developed a hard red growth 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch in the forks of several branch’s ... we noticed them in the winter and decide to leave them alone as they appeared to just be part of the tree. We are having a tremendous season for flowers and have experienced the largest blooms ...we will be trimming in another month and we are not sure if we should cut those branches and remove the hard red growths ......what are they?

Certified ExpertA.Your gardenia will probably recover, but in the future, your gardenia only needs light pruning soon after a bloom cycle. You can remove dead or broken branches at any time. And it's best not to remove more than 1/3 of a shrub at any time.
Here is more information that may be helpful:

93650Q.Gardenia Leaves Turning Brown
In the past it had powdery mildew and I sprayed it with a fungicide and it did well. Recently I noticed the bottom and inside leaves were exhibiting powdery mildew signs again. I used the same fungicide (same container) and it had been stored inside. Now the leaves are turning brown rapidly. Is this due to the fungicide or is something else going on. P.S. I did spray around 6:00 am so it was warm but not hot out.
