Hi everyone, its pruning season here, need your advice on some plants.
Citrus trees, do they need to be pruned? and white grapes. i recently bought one here locally, have absolutely no idea what type, but i think its white. i know i should prune it, but how much?

Question on pruning
oh, and i have a question on impatiens walleriana. i know a lady who has 1 plant for years, it doesn't go to seed. if mine goes to seed, which it has started to, will it die?
We have impatients here that go to seed but still seem to keep going....trying to be thrifty as plants cost so much here, I take cuttings from them and they are one plant that I seem to have sucess with - if I can keep ahead of the whitefly....
I just can't seem to grow the New Guinea type though - I routinely kill them and I have no idea how I do it. Anyone else have this problem?
On Citrus, cut branches that are hanging downward; leave branches that are holding upwards.
Yes, N.Guinea...just can't keep them happy ...
i have tried N. Guinea 6 times, and everytime they die. i have tried so many different types of soil, sunlight, and how much water they get. but each time they die.
thanks for the advice, if i see that my impatiens are starting to die, i will be sure to take cuttings. impatiens is also one plant i seem to be doing well with.
i think i am good on my citrus trees then, i'll just go check.
and the grapevine?
thanks!

Same here. It's made me wonder if it might be a high altitude plant.
I hope you are right Randy, that would make me feel better. I'm like Jenny, can't keep the N.G. type alive to save my soul.
Yokwe,
