Crape Myrtle Bark Scale Alert!
Noticed white, waxy clusters on the bark of your crape myrtles? You may be dealing with Crape Myrtle Bark Scale—a stubborn insect pest that weakens your trees and causes black sooty mold.

What to Do:
✅ Gently scrub bark with a soft brush and mild soap to remove scale and mold
✅ Apply a systemic insecticide in early spring (look for products with imidacloprid or dinotefuran)
✅ Encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs that feed on scale
✅ Avoid over-fertilizing—scale loves high nitrogen!

Stay vigilant and treat early to protect your blooms and keep your crape myrtles beautiful all summer long!

Pruning Tips for Late Winter to Early Spring
Pruning is an essential gardening practice that promotes plant health, enhances aesthetics, and boosts productivity. Late winter to early spring is an ideal time for pruning many plants as they are either still dormant or just beginning to emerge from dormancy. Knowing what and how to prune during this period ensures plants grow vigorously and remain free of diseases.
Why Prune in Late Winter to Early Spring?
• Encourages strong spring growth by removing dead or weak branches before the growing season begins.
• Prevents disease spread by cutting away damaged or diseased wood before warmer temperatures create ideal conditions for pathogens.
• Improves air circulation and structure to support healthy growth and flowering.
• Reduces risk of winter damage by eliminating weak or broken branches that may have been harmed by snow or ice.
Trees and Shrubs to Prune Now
• Deciduous Trees: Apple, pear, peach, and other fruit trees should be pruned now to shape the tree, remove crossing branches, and encourage fruit production.
• Roses: Cut back hybrid tea, floribunda, and grandiflora roses to promote strong growth and abundant blooms.
• Ornamental Grasses & Perennials: Trim back dead foliage from grasses and perennials like hostas and daylilies to make way for fresh spring growth.
• Shrubs That Bloom in Summer: Prune shrubs such as butterfly bush (Buddleia), crape myrtle, and hydrangeas (excluding Hydrangea macrophylla) to promote lush flowering later in the season.
What NOT to Prune Now
• Spring-Flowering Shrubs: Avoid pruning lilacs, forsythia, azaleas, and rhododendrons, as they bloom on old wood and pruning now will remove flower buds.
• Evergreens: Most evergreens should be pruned after new growth emerges in late spring.
• Plants Showing New Growth: If you see active new buds, it may be too late to prune heavily without stressing the plant.
Best Practices for Late Winter/Early Spring Pruning
• Make clean cuts at a 45-degree angle just above a bud or branch junction.
• Use sharp, sanitized tools to prevent disease transmission.
• Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve structure and air circulation.
• Avoid excessive pruning, as cutting too much can stress plants right before they enter their growing season.
Pruning in late winter to early spring helps prepare your garden for a season of strong growth, vibrant flowers, and healthy fruit production. By knowing which plants to prune now and which to leave alone, you can ensure a thriving landscape.
