Don’t trim those frost damaged branches yet!
You might be tempted to cut off those ugly, brown, damaged by freeze branches off your trees and shrubs. Don’t do it! Wait until we are way into March.
Pruning promotes new growth and if another freeze comes, your plant’s new tender leaves will once again be vulnerable. Wait until the spring is in full swing, fertilize your shrubs or trees, then tip the unwanted twigs with garden shears. Your plants will reward your patience and care with renewed, fresh and healthy new growth in no time.
To encourage the long and vibrant color of your bougainvillea, the trick of the trade is “the more frequently you trim them, the more they bloom!”
