LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, Dec. 5

Evaluating Existing Plant Material: Plants in Marginal Condition


Some of the plants in the landscapes you  manage may be borderline in terms of health and beauty. Crabapple LandscapExperts can advise you on remedial measures to get them back looking great. 

  • Older plants may need selective rejuvenation pruning
  • Plants with fewer flowers than before may need more light or a more balanced fertilizer
  • When lower foliage has died out, plants can be reshaped for an improved look
  • Plants fighting diseases or insect pests can be helped with the proper Rx
  • Another example is if the original design wedged a plant into a spot too small for it 
The LandscapExperts at Crabapple can trouble shoot and repair the marginal plants in landscapes you maintain.
