Jay with Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company is ready the new year out in the yard!

  • We get right into you wasting water! If it’s raining, turn off those irrigation systems.
  • Rose care tips and a few classes you can attend.
  • Starting a New Year’s Resolutions? Try working in the garden and you’ll have a great yard, fruit & veggies and you’ll be in better shape!
  • More tips on pruning…..Not your citrus right now. Be careful and Jay explains why.

Texts From a Listener:

  • Is a Jacaranda tree deciduous and can he prune it right now?

Recommendation – Technically no, but they are a tropcial tree and it gets a bit cooler during the winter, so they will yellow and thin out a bit. We’d wait until mid-February to start pruning and be very careful how you do it.

  • Can they prune back mesquite trees this time of year?

Recommendation – They are semi-decidiuous and spring or fall is best. If you cut back right now, it can leak black sap that gets on sidewalks, cars, etc. That being said, you can trim a few problem branches off if you need to.

  • He heard us talking about roses. Is it a good time to plant roses and can he pick them up at Harper’s?

Recommendation – It is a good time to plant and he has a few in planters at the store.

Callers:

  • Ted – He is about to trim his bougainvillea because it’s getting too big. Can he do it this time of year or is it too cold?

Recommendation – We would wait for a few weeks to avoid frost. Mid-February is usually when the threat passes and he can cut it way back then. Jay talks through his options and how much to cut back.

  • Jack – He has a Cherub Tree and wants to know how to cut it back or should he hire an expert?

Recommendation – With a tree that special and that big, we would have an expert take a look at it and make sure it’s healthy and where to make the prudent cuts. He can contact our Rosie-Certified tree expert, John at Integrity Tree Service.
