Winter tip: Clearing snow safely from shrubs and small trees
Heavy snow can bend or break branches, especially on evergreen shrubs and young trees. If you need to remove snow, gently support the branch with one hand while brushing off snow with the other. Avoid shaking or striking the plant, as this can cause more damage. Simple care like this protects your landscape’s structure and health through the winter months.

Winter tree inspection
Colder temperatures and shorter days serve as a reminder that it’s time for your trees and shrubs to have a winter check-up. Now is the time to uncover issues such as weakly attached branches, dead wood, diseases, pest infestations and other problems before they can cause serious damage in the spring.
