If you plant in September and October the roots still have a chance to become well established before thewinter. This is also the right time of year to prune your shrubs and cut many back. This is because it has already done its growing for the year and you will not cut off any of the buds.

Fall-Bearing raspberries will have one or two crops if you prune accordingly. Follow the instructions under Fall-Bearing Brambles to get the most out of these varieties.

It really depends on the type of shrub you are needing to prune and if and when it flowers. Pruning flowering shrubs at the wrong time can affect the blooming. For shrubs that flower on new growth: they should be pruned early in the spring before blooming. Pruning in the spring will encourage new growth and more flowers. Examples: Blue Mist Spirea, Anthony Waterer Spirea, Potentilla. Shrubs which bloom on old growth from the previous year should be pruned AFTER flowering.

After construction, normal farming operations can resume. Landscaping can be planted within the right-of-way in yard areas.

Note that these plants may require an occasional hand watering until they begin to establish.

BOB: The best "rule of thumb" is to prune them within 30 days after they finish blooming. This will allow them time to form new flower buds for next year. [More about pruning shrubs] BOB: Golf courses use a variety of grass (bentgrass) that can withstand short mowing. Your home lawn needs to be cut at 2-1/2 to 3 inches.

For maximum yield, Summer Bearing Raspberries should be pruned directly after harvest. New studies show that nutriants and carbohydrates are transferred from old canes to new. By waiting a few weeks after harvest, you can reduce your spring fertilizing by approximately 1/2. For pruning tips and more go to the Summer Bearing Raspberries in the Brambles Planting and Culturing Guide.

Most major pruning on deciduous plants (plants that loose their leaves in fall) should be done when the plant is dormant. During the growing season, a plant's leaves contain food, in the form of sugars. Removing these leaves, before they are able to send this food back down to the plants roots in fall, will rob the plant of essential food and stunt it's growth.

Pruning is a simple and easy gardening task and just requires a little knowledge. First you need a pair of hand shears or hedge shears. If you need power tools, its probably not pruning that needs to be done, and if it is, call a professional to do it. First and foremost, make sure the blade is sharp. The cardinal rule is to prune back to a branch or bud, or you will leave a stub that can cause disease in the tree.

The best time to plant is between September and March but container-grown plants can be planted at any time of year provided they are given sufficient water. We do not recommend planting large specimens in the hot summer months (July and August). If you plant between September and March, you probably won't need to water them unless you want to increase the amount of growth you get over the summer period.

The best time to plant is in the early spring or fall when the ground is thawed and plants are dormant.

Fall-blooming salvias such as leucantha should be pruned during the summer to keep them compact, reducing the need for staking. To make the job easier, use hedging shears, and remove only the spent flowers and a few inches of stem below. Any of this type of pruning should be completed prior to September 1, since flower buds begin forming about that time.

It's generally best not to remove more than 15 to 20 percent of shrubs' top growth at any one time. Late winter is the best time for that type of severe reshaping, as it allows the plants to regrow and fill in right away in the spring. Prune in a way that allows some leaf growth to remain. Hopefully you can prune with lopping shears and hand shears so that you can avoid unnaturally round or square shapes.

The thought of having to prune your plants can be a daunting one, but it doesn’t have to be if you follow a few simple rules. A good rule of thumb before you start is to stand back and take a look at the overall shape and condition of the shrub. What you are trying to achieve through pruning is to encourage strong and bushy growth and to help the plant show its features to the best of its ability, so getting an overall view will help you.

Never transplant ornamental trees and shrubs any deeper than they were already planted. After digging the planting hole only as deep as the root ball, backfill around the root ball using existing soil so that the plant will sit in the hole at the same level it was growing in the container. Research indicates that the addition of organic amendments is not needed.

Planting perennials in the fall is our suggestion. If planted by the end of September, perennials will have a chance to get well established in moderate temperatures before the cold winter months arrive. Plants planted in the fall will produce a healthy root system and reward you with a lush, colorful display the following spring. Be careful not to plant too late in the fall. Late fall plantings can cause frost heaving and possible loss of plants.

Give plants a major pruning in early February or when the dormant buds just begin to swell. Established plants will need to be cut back by a half to one-third at this time. What you have are leaf cutter bees. They are considered beneficial as they feed on other harmful insects. They use the leaf circles to line their nest. It is preferable that you not spray, but tolerate their damage. Keep fertilizing regularly and the roses will be fine. We have just moved into a home.
