by Eric Schrader | Jun 18th, 09June Free Members’ Workshop - 3rd Thursday

Come in for our free 3rd Thursday workshop to take advantage of all the experience and knowledge of the senior members of BSSF!

In June take some time to sit down and wire all the new growth on your trees.  Wiring is the fastest way to make a branch useful.  Instead of cutting it off wire it!

Fertilization should be continuing on trees through the growing season, don’t stop fertilization until the fall!  Different species should be fertilized differently: pines and junipers need heavy fertilization while deciduous trees need less.  Especially for older deciduous trees that have a good silhouette over fertilization is as much of a problem as under fertilization.  Walk a fine line and you will be rewarded with a healthy tree but not be cursed with leggy growth.
