It's Trimming Time
Time is running out... just a few weeks left.
Spring buds come quickly and then it's too late for trimming and pruning.
December through February is the best time of the year to prune trees and trim shrubs. Once cold weather has set in and the plants have hardened for winter, you can safely prune, limb and trim without hurting the plant.
Three things that would prevent trimming or pruning:
A tree or shrub has visible flowers.
A tree or shrub has a visible buds.
A tree or shrub has brand new foliage.
Cutting off the top of a crape myrtle has become a wide spread way to prune for most homeowners and is not always recommended. Most people believe that heavy chopping is necessary to promote flowers and some cut the top off because the plant is too large for the space provided. There are some instances in which heavy pruning is necessary, but light pruning is usually all that is needed. The type and amount of pruning depends on the desired shape and size of the plant, contact us at
