The Growing Season, April 6, 2024 - Celebrating Spring Part 3: Spring Pruning


Listen Later

Its safe to finally prune your plants, people!

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland guide The Growing Season into the heart of spring pruning and all of its related topics. 

When can you prune?   If its been 10 degrees during the daytime over the course of 7 days you are good to go. 

How do you transition plants from indoors to outdoors?   What about those hydrangeas that you received for easter?   Can those be transplanted?   How?

Jack McFarland creates a sound bite for the ages. 

"Your plant is not sick because its being attacked by insects, its being attacked by insects because its sick..."   This becomes a topic of discussion.   Pruning for plant health is addressed.

Coppicing of plant materials and how to use the technique to rejuvenate an older plant becomes chat fodder.

The central leader of a tree and its importance is highlighted. 

Proper pruning practices are discussed.

Tune in.
