In this episode of Garden Talk from Walter Anderson Nursery, Ken Anderson and George Allman answer listener questions and dig into two timely topics for Southern California gardeners: the eucalyptus leaf beetle problem (including why large trees often require professional, systemic treatment) and a practical “top vines” list for covering fences, trellises, and pergolas. You’ll hear tips and cautions on popular choices like star jasmine, mandevilla/dipladenia, creeping fig, bougainvillea, passion vines, and trumpet vines—plus what to consider before planting vigorous climbers.
