July 27, 2011Q.Strawberry Tree Bark
Just had a Strawberry Tree put in my front yard in a 36" box. Tree is about 15' tall and the dark bark is missing in the first 10' and starts up again where it branches. Should I be concerned outside of being miffed that it's missing some beautiful color and texture. The tree is perfect in size and looks very healthy otherwise and will be a "keeper" absent adverse information provided.

July 30, 2011A.Wow, what a beautiful tree, I looked it up! The only reference I could find that concerns missing bark, seems to be from frost damage. I'm not sure if that's a real issue in your planting zone. I would suggest you contact your local extension office (found under gov't in the phone book) for additional help on why that is happening.

June 9, 2016Q.evergreen strawberry bush
I have an evergreen bush (which I was told is a strawberry bush). It produces small, pink droplet flowers but no berries. It now has a lot of yellow leaves (similar to black spot on roses) and a shiny residue on leaves also. I have removed all the yellow leaves and the branches they have are on. I thought of spraying it with black spot spray. Can you advise how to treat this?

June 9, 2016A.If the leaves are shiny, this is likely honeydew from sap sucking insects such as aphids or scale. Neem oil is an effective treatment. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/scale-bug-how-to-control-plant-scale.htm

April 17, 2020Q.What is wrong with my strawberry tree?
Leaves droop and are a faded green with many turning yellow. It has looked bad for a couple of years now and now is awful.

Certified ExpertA.It could be a nutritional deficiency or poor drainage. It needs excellent drainage and regular irrigation.
A soil test will let you know if it lacks certain nutrients. Your local Cooperative Extension center can help with that.

Certified ExpertA.We do not recommend specific places to purchase. We only offer gardening information.
I would recommend looking for local vendors, or turning to online vendors, such as Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay.
