February Calendar
- In late winter, prune deciduous trees, when the structure of the tree is not hidden by leaf cover.
- Shrubs grown primarily for their foliage rather than flowers can be pruned when bare of leaves. To retain a natural appearance, remove the oldest two to four branches at their base in addition to dead or branches that cross and rub.
- Do not prune early spring blooming shrubs until after they have bloomed. These include forsythia, lilac, azalea, clove currant, quince, magnolia, or early blooming spirea. Unsure of your bloom time? Look for flower buds that set last fall or check reliable sources.
- Check indoor plants for insects.
- Remove the spent flowers of bulbs such as amaryllis, but don't remove their green stems until they brown and wither.
