Collapse ▲Looking back over the year, I have a hydrangea that has gotten overgrown. It now hangs down over the driveway, blocking the garage. At some point this winter, I’ll need to prune it back, to make it more compact. Most of the other shrubs are looking really good, as are the trees in the yard.
I do have some plants in containers that I forgot to move into the garage the last time we had a frost and they were damaged a little. Before we have another frost, I’ll need to prune back the damage and move them into the garage.
Now that I’ve mentioned plants in containers, I should mention that many of these plants can be moved in and out of the garage as the temperatures allow. The goal of moving them in and out is to make sure they get some direct sunlight during the winter so they don’t drop all their leaves and have to start over in the spring. As long as the nighttime temperatures are above 45 degrees, the plants can stay outside at night.
Many people ask me when to prune the shrubs in their yard. If they are formal shrubs that really need to be shaped to look good, this is a good time to prune them to shape them up for holiday visitors. The plants should be dormant now so any new growth won’t happen until the temperatures warm in spring.
