It's last call for Crepe Myrtle and Rose Pruning
Let SecureTurf trim your trees for optimal plant health.
Time is running out... just a few weeks left.
Spring buds come quickly and then it's too late for trimming and pruning.
December through February is the best time of the year to prune trees
and trim shrubs. Once cold weather has set in and the plants have
hardened for winter, you can safely prune, limb and trim without hurting the plant.
Three things that would prevent trimming or pruning:
A tree or shrub has visible flowers.
A tree or shrub has a visible buds.
A tree or shrub has brand new foliage.
Cutting off the top of a crepe myrtle has become a wide spread way to prune
for most homeowners and is not always recommended. Most people believe
that heavy chopping is necessary to promote flowers and some cut the top
off because the plant is too large for the space provided. There are some
instances in which heavy pruning is necessary, but light pruning is usually
all that is needed. The type and amount of pruning depends on the desired
Rose pruning brings out the best in both appearance and performance.
While shrub roses, such as the Knock Out are sometimes touted as being
carefree, remember, all flowering shrubs are revitalized by proper pruning
practices, and the Knock Out rose is no different.
Pruning improves the health of the bush and the quality of the blooms.
When should you prune? Rose pruning should be done just as buds
break dormancy, usually around mid-to-late February through
mid-March in our area.

In the spring your trees can look like these trees below.
