IT’S FEBRUARY. IT’S TIME TO...
Sharpen those pruners! Selectively prune to shape summer-flowering trees like crape myrtle and Vitex to force new spring shoots that will produce blooms in summer. Be careful to preserve the tree’s shape.
Prune broad-leaf evergreens like hollies and narrow-leaf evergreens like junipers and arborvitaes to shape any time this month.
Begin pruning roses in mid-late February. Remove all but three strong, well-spaced canes for good structure. Cut the canes back to 6 to 8 inches in length. Fertilize immediately after pruning.
Prune clump-type plants such as Nandina, Mahonia, and Aucuba. Remove one-third of the tall stalks to the ground to force new growth and to prevent them from becoming leggy.
Apply preemergent weed control to lawn areas. Make the application when you see yellow Forsythia blooming in your neighborhood.
