Don't be a crepe murderer
Take advantage of these beautiful, warm days to survey your garden. Make your notes now in preparation for spring, but don’t start trimming — start writing!
First, note the plants that should always look good. Are they suffering from the recent freeze? Perhaps you want to consider a hardier, frost tolerant plant or a protective barrier planting, hedge or a simple coverage plan for those nights when the temperature drops below freezing.
Second, look at your trees and shrubs. Are you a "Crepe Murderer?" Do you needlessly reduce these majestic beauties? The smooth multi-toned trunks and strong yet graceful branches not only provide winter interest, they are needed to support the abundance of flowers that appear in summer.
Late February is a great time to have your trees pruned, but hold off on maples and birches. Look for branches that are larger than an inch, ones that cross over and rub together or those that grow inward. When cutting the branch, make sure it is a clean cut close to the trunk. Take care not to disturb the tree’s shape, but to enhance it. Wait to prune flowering trees until they start to show a touch of color, then bring those branches inside and force the blooms. Star and saucer magnolia, quince, redbuds and dogwoods work nicely. Never prune flowering shrubs in the winter. Roses should be pruned and fed after the last frost.
