December - March Shrub Service

We applied an all liquid service. This consisted of a horticulture oil. This does control fungus and insects. It also adds shine and luster to the plant foliage. It also helps during frost.

You should not see chewed foliage, discoloring of foliage, any powdery substance under the leaf blades.   You should see new growth. Healthy and no insect activity and no circular discolorations. If you have had these problems and were just sprayed, please wait until you see the new growth, old growth does not change. Also try to allow good ventilation around plant beds. If you see any above symptoms after two weeks of being sprayed please call. You also need to pay attention to freeze warnings. Frost can destroy plants.

You should be watering 1-2 times a month. About 15-30 minutes. This is predicated on the amount of  water flow, air flow, sunlight and density of plant beds. DO NOT OVER WATER! Over watering causes more harm than good to plants. YOU SHOULD NOT WATER WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 32*. However watering just after a frost helps to warm plants up and knock frost off.

When trimming plants make sure your tools are sharp and that they are cleaned with alcohol between plants. This procedure does not allow the spread of any diseases. It also will kill insects and larva. Should not be pruning anything during a frost or freeze warning. The earliest I would start any pruning would be in February. Also Crepe Myrtles do not need to be trimmed back so drastically. A lot of home owners and landscapers seem to feel they have to cut this species down to the crotch cuts. This is not necessary.

Will be of the same scope. It is important to keep the material as fresh as possible and to check and treat any trouble. Issues with plant can arise at anytime. However we change the material every 2 months so there is no resistance to our products.

TERMITE CONTROL, PEST CONTROL, ORNAMENTAL CARE AND IRRIGATION SYSTEM CHECKS AND REPAIR.

IF YOU NOTICED ANY SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED ABOVE, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
