Expert Sperry said a yellowing red oak is likely a misidentified pin oak with fatal iron deficiency and should be replaced when planted in alkaline soil — a common mix-up in our area.
He also provided advice on uneven waxleaf ligustrum, pecan scab, dry zoysia lawns, and small-fruited pineapple plants.
🎭 Culture
Tyler Junior College will put on its 37th annual Nutcracker ballet this December at Wise Auditorium—featuring more than 200 dancers and live music to boost holiday spirit.
Director Carolyn Hanna said the community show will celebrate family traditions by including a rotating role for Mother Ginger and uniting East Texas audiences.

The package includes a 75% property tax rebate over 10 years — LEDCO will also provide 44 acres and a $1M cash grant, with production expected to start in about two years.
