Here's how you can help your shrubbery:
Remove leaf litter
Remove leaf litter
● Leaves can retain water & block airflow around the plant, making them more susceptible to fungal diseases.
● Infected leaf litter can also serve to reintroduce an infection, rendering fungicide applications ineffective.
We suggest promptly cleaning up leaves. If you'd like to give your plants a little boost, compost (uninfected leaves only) them and spread them around your plants after they have broken down.
Prune shrubs and trees correctly
Prune shrubs and trees correctly
● Prune during the correct season for each plant; typically you should avoid pruning flowering trees or shrubs.
● Prune trees correctly for their type and size. Do not top any tree, including crepe myrtles.
● Prune with sharp blades to minimize injury.
● Avoid pruning plants under stress if possible.
● Formally pruned shrubbery will require much more frequent pruning than shrubbery with a natural shape.
For more pruning tips, consult the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
Mulch beds with quality organic mulch
Properly installed mulch has many benefits. Here are some benefits, straight from the Va Cooperative Extension:
● The dark color of mulch serves to warm the soil, which promotes earlier root growth and earlier spring growth of plants
● Mulch helps to delay soil freezing and prevent frost heaving
● Mulch protects plants and plant roots from damage by equipment such as mowers and weed eaters
● Mulch minimizes compaction from traffic in the mulched area
● Mulch helps to suppress competing vegetation such as weeds and grass
● By covering the soil with mulch soil erosion is minimized
● Mulch slows runoff from rain events and allows moisture to soak into the ground
● Mulch enhances garden and landscape appearance
● Mulch makes garden and landscape maintenance easier.
● Organic mulch also adds organic matter to the soil, which serves to improve the soil’s water holding capacity, increases the number of microorganisms in the soil profile, and improves nutrient holding and supply of the soil.
