Plant Care & Maintenance

Newly planted items should be watered at the base of the plant with a slow trickle as follows:

Trees: 30 minutes every other day

Bushes: 2 minutes every day

Perennial: 30 seconds every day

When to water

If soil is moist at the base of the plant then no watering is needed that day. Most of the plants we install are hardy to this area, which means after they are established, watering will only be needed in extreme summer or drought conditions. A general rule of thumb is if the leaves of a plant turn yellow and the branch bends without breaking, it is getting too much water. If the leaves turn brown & crispy and the branches snap when bent they are receiving too little water. Alberta Spruce and Arborvitae are prone to spider mites. If you notice brown spots, look for tiny bugs. If present spray with Sevvum-can be found at your local hardware retailer.

Trimming

Plants are best trimmed in the spring and fall to keep their shape. It is imperative that shrubs & trees be kept trimmed. Once they get too big, it is hard to trim them back.
