Hey, Plant Lovers Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener here. Get in the know!

It's autumn in the mountains of Arizona, and the leaves are putting on a show. But if you're seeing yellow where it shouldn't be, your plants might be trying to tell you something.

Deciduous trees and shrubs lose their leaves in the fall – it's natural! But evergreens like Privet, Photinia, and Cotoneaster should stay green year-round. Yellowing leaves on these plants often mean they're lacking nutrients.

Think of it like this: your plants have worked hard all year, blooming and growing. Now they need a good meal to prepare for winter and next spring's growth. If they're not getting the nutrients they need, they'll start to show signs of stress, like yellowing leaves.

The solution? A good feeding with a balanced fertilizer like our 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This will help your plants green up, develop strong buds for next year, and stay healthy through the winter.

Don't forget, fertilizing in autumn is crucial, especially for new landscapes. Give your plants the nutrients they need to thrive next spring!
