Nut and fruit trees should be planted three to four weeks before the last killing frost in spring.
• If fungus develops on your potted herbs, cut them back to encourage healthy new growth.
• Deciduous trees with narrow crotch angles (such as Bradford pear) are more susceptible to snow damage than are trees with wide branching angles as they have poor structure across the angle.
• Ice damage to woody plants occurs when high winds break heavily coated branches. Evergreens are more susceptible to snow damage than are deciduous plants as they have more foliage surface for snow accumulation.
• Shrubs for spring planting should be ordered now. Bare root, deciduous types should be planted while still dormant, about one month before the average date of the last frost in your area. Hardy, container grown, and balled and burlapped shrubs may be planted anytime, except during severe, cold weather.
