Welcome to Lynde Greenhouse! I hope you are having a Great New Year. The weather has warmed up a bit and I am sure you have all received at least 1 new gardening magazine or catalog already. Things you can do now: if you are wanting to go outside, now is a great time to properly prune your trees. Oaks, Flowering Crabs, Fruit trees and many more are best pruned NOW until the end of March. So get a pruners/hand saw or chainsaw and a ladder (if needed) as well as a friend to help direct you when you are up in the tree. All of the branches seem to look alike when you're up in the branches. The main thing to trim are branches that are rubbing or growing into the tree and dead or injured branches. No more than 1/3 of the tree can be trimmed or you will create more work in the future. Do not prune too close to the trunk so it will be able to heal over from the cut without leaving a stub. Under cut if branches are large. If you have questions please call or reply to our blog. Until next week.
Be safe and happy,
