Shrubs

Winter

Continue formative pruning and renovation of deciduous shrubs during the early part of winter and ensure that all dead and damaged wood has been removed.

Evergreens and deciduous shrubs may be planted, as long as the soil is not too cold.

Shrubs may be propagated during the winter by layering or by apical-wedge, saddle, and side-veneer grafting. Hardwood and root cuttings may also be taken.
