Fall pruning begins in late September. Pruning plants is essential to promote growth. Regular and correct
pruning keeps shrubs and trees healthy and vigorous and prevents potential problems. By removing dead
wood, spent blooms or unhealthy growth, you allow a healthier plant to take shape. Shrubs that have
experienced growth since the spring pruning should be done first. The majority of pruning is done from
October through November when expired perennials are cut back.
You do not want to miss your fall application of pre-emergent and fertilization. It is essential to apply in Fall
to help in the prevention of weeds and crabgrass in the up coming seasons. Apply a turf fertilizer that is high in
Nitrogen-the first number. For color and healthy plants next spring apply some 15-15-15 and 9-9-9 with Iron.

ripening bananas have in common? The green color in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives green leaves their color. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down and disappears, revealing the yellow color which has been there all along. The yellows and oranges of fall leaves are also revealed as their chlorophyll breaks down. Of course, other changes also occur as bananas ripen: the starches change to sugar and the flesh softens as pectin. |
