Trees and Shrubs
Flowers
- Do not prune or fertilize landscape shrubs for the remainder of the year to allow them to prepare for dormancy. Properly acclimated plants have a greater degree of winter hardiness.
- Fall webworms form large masses of webbing on branch ends but usually do not cause much damage. If unsightly, rip webs open with a long pole or disrupt with a strong stream of water.
Flowers
- Pull up tired annuals and dead-head those that are healthy.
- Get a second bloom from faded annuals by cutting them back by one third their height, then feed with a liquid fertilizer.
