The key to healthy trees and shrubs is proactive monitoring. Hartney Greymont tree professional Scott McPhee will take you through their checklist of spring chores at this Massachusetts Horticultural Society lecture on Thursday, March 27, beginning at 7 pm at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley. Learn to look for the signs of pests and disease and learn the appropriate time for tree care. What should you look for when doing a spring tree inspection? What should you use to fertilize your trees and shrubs and when should you do it? When should you prune? When is it too late to save a tree? When is the best time to plant new trees and shrubs? Scott will answer these and many more questions you have about the care of your landscape as well letting you know when it’s time to call a professional to do the job.
