Most plants can be pruned year round, though heavy pruning is best done in February. Light pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

THE CENTER OF MY PALM TREE IS BLACK AND ROTTING. WHAT IS THIS AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
This is called Crown Rot. It is a fungus that eats the heart of the palm tree and it will kill the tree. Treat with Bordeaux Powder as needed.
WHAT IS PEARL SCALE?
Pearl scale is an insect that attaches to the roots in Tiff type yards and sucks them dry, causing brown patches.
WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE PEARL SCALE?
Pearl Scale can be difficult to get rid of. We recommend treating with Merit as directed over the summer months. Adding water soluble sulfur to the soil will also help. Please see an associate for more details.

As there are many types of insects and fungus, please come in and one of our staff will gladly help you select the product that is appropriate for your problem.
WHY DO I SEE A LOT OF BURNING ON MY LEAVES OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS?
During 100+ weather leaves will burn just like human skin. It is called sun and salt burn. Water deep to flush the salts away from the roots and use water soluble sulfur.

During growing seasons, feed your roses every 2 to 3 weeks to help keep plant in bloom. See product directions for more detailed information. View our Guide To Roses here.

“A&P Nursery in Gilbert has been my family’s go to place for years so when I bought my home there was no question on where I’d go. They have a great selection of plants and flowers. And, most importantly for me, a very friendly and knowledgable staff. They’ve all gone above and beyond to help me on many occasions, especially Luke. They are all locals and understand our growing climate. And if you are really lucky, you’ll get to see the cat.”

“All around a great experience! Very happy with our plants (we ordered north of 70+ plants) and the pricing was the best out of 5 nurseries we went to. From the moment we walked in, Dylan stepped up to help answer all our questions and was the one who also did the install. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond on the install. Will be back again soon!”

“Amazing customer service!! I’m so impressed. We’re new homeowners and had no idea what kind of plants we wanted. I unfortunately didn’t get his name but he was so knowledgeable and pointed us in the right direction! Very thankful we stopped by A&P Nursery. This will definitely be my go to.”

“Oh my gosh! The guys at AP are so helpful and knowledgeable. Garrett even remembered my name and took the plastic out of my car door to line my ride while I paid. Of, course the plants are healthy, as they’re local grown. Love this place!”
LAUREN H.
“Impressed with the friendly and helpful customer service. All my questions were answered and helpful recommendations given. I purchased all the plants for last year’s garden here as well, and had great results with in-ground and potted plants. I love that two gentlemen were kind enough to carry my purchases out to the car for me this morning. This is the kind of business that I want to support, now more than ever! Happy to spend my dollars here rather than at a big box retailer. Such a better experience all around! Thanks A&P!”

“I needed to buy some bushes for my home. Not knowing what I was looking for, I knew I would need help. I went to Home Depot…no help…I went to Lowe’s…no help. Then I remembered A&P Nursery. What a find. As soon as I walked through the door, I was asked if I needed help. The young man that assisted me was sweet, kind, and knowledgeable. I was in and out within 15 minutes. He took the plants to the register and then proceeded to place protection in my car and loaded up the car for me…I highly recommend A&P Nursery.”

The staff did it all packed our plants recommended needed soil and loaded it up with no problem.I will only be going to this location because of the friendly staff and great customer service! If you want top notch service and beautiful plants, trees and anything you need for beautiful landscape go here.”

There are several options closer to my home but I will always continue to support the local business. Highly recommend this place!”
