Don't Be Hasty

Just a reminder not to be hasty and trim or prune bushes/trees right now.  We will get colder temps this month and into next.  I had been watching this tree for awhile after last years historic freeze.  It looked completely dead in March but by summer, the leaves started to grow back.  If you trim or prune a bush during this month, you could possibly kill the entire plant.  Wait until March 15th before you do any trimming.   This tree has since come back to full form and I'd probably clean it up again in spring before the new growth begins.  That which appears dead; isn't always dead:) So hold the shears for the moment:)  I get antsy as well.  But March is the month of magic in the Old Pueblo. Right now just start on your outdoor projects....like the instalation of our water fountain.  More coming up on that project and so much more......
