Wow - Finally Spring!
What a long slow ride to spring this winter has been, but finally spring has arrived. The best part about this cool spring is that for all you slow pokes out there it isn't too late to get those spring chores completed. There is still plenty of time to prune spirea, willow, dogwoods, ninebark, euonymus, etc. Remember it's best to thin out at least 20% of the shrubs oldest canes by cutting them to the ground, and then another 20- 30% of the stems cut by half. That will keep your shrubs youthful and looking great for seasons to come. And, don’t forget to fertilize after pruning to promote new growth. Cheers and let the blooms begin!
