Caring for Shrubs Tips

Choose shrubs that are well-suited to your climate and soil conditions for optimal growth. Water newly planted shrubs regularly, but once established, water deeply but infrequently. Fertilize shrubs in the spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Prune shrubs in late winter or early spring to shape them and remove dead or diseased branches. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and scale insects and treat as needed.
