Walt Disney World Spring 'How-To' Tips For Home Gardeners

Shrub and Tree Tips

By Theresa Johnston, About.com

  • Spring is a good time of year to plant new trees and shrubs.
  • If you have trees in a turf area, they may be getting enough fertilizer; if not, consider an early-spring fertilizer application.
  • Skirt up low branches that get in the way of mowing.
  • Re-establish your mulch rings -- a good guide is three feet from the trunk.
  • Get your pruners out and remove cross branches and dead wood.
  • Remember not to prune your spring flowering trees until after they bloom!
