What is Plant Clinic Case Files?
Welcome to Plant Clinic Case Files, the podcast where N.C. Cooperative Extension agents answer your burning plant questions and dive deeper into the research behind Extension recommendations.

Episode One - Common Coastal Mysteries: Crape Myrtles, Hydrangeas, & Lichen
As late spring arrives, you might need a refresher on your garden to-do list! In this episode, meet our Consumer Horticulture Agent, Gabriella, and learn how the Plant Clinic can help you amend your soil and finalize seasonal preparations like pruning. We also open the files to investigate what causes black sooty mold on crape myrtles, what lichen on your trees actually means, and how you can reduce leaf spot on your hydrangeas.
