FREEZING
TEMPERATURES?

What happens when the temperature in March fluctuates from 18 degrees to 67 degrees in a 36 hour timeframe?

Replenishing with fertilizer late spring may help, but don’t panic. Most plants in the northeast are acclimated to extremes in the Spring. Just wait until after Memorial Day to see if any pruning is needed.

LAST CHANCE!

DORMANT PRUNING

Now until end of April is the last chance for Dormant Pruning!

This overgrown privet hedge has been on a 3 year reduction and rejuvenation program. Old plants such as lilacs, viburnums, & forsythia need the old wood thinned out to encourage healthy young sucker growth. In order to enjoy the flowers and foliage, remove 1/3 per year.

This year the hedge height was also reduced. See the before and after photos

 

Vet large dying stalks were removed to encourage new growth.

The hedge still looks natural and ugly stumps are not visible from afar or when fully leafed out!

We can’t wait to make your lawn, garden, and landscape all that you want it to be!
