| Garden Nuggets - Many of the area's popular blue mophead hydrangeas have suffered stem dieback from the winter cold. This is common in recent years, and experience suggests that with new growth the shrub will attain nearly its original size, but the first late spring flowers will be lost. Recent hydrangea introductions such as Endless Summer are remontant, flowering on last years' stems, but also on this years' new growth. So, flowers will be late, but there will be blooms by very late spring or early summer. - Dead stems of hydrangeas should be cut back to the first live leaves. This can be done by pruning individual stems, or with hedge shears. Pruning a few live leaves won't hurt a thing. In several weeks bare stems will be covered by new growth. - Oakleaf hydrangeas and summer flowering hydrangea paniculata varieties such as Limelight rarely suffer winter injury in our area, so pruning is unlikely to be necessary unless the purpose is reducing the size or shaping. Now is the time for this pruning. - April is an ideal time to plant deciduous and evergreen plants, and by mid month the threat of frost is usually past so it's safe to plant more tender annual flowers. - Reduced rainfall in recent weeks has drier out many saturated lawn and landscapes. Still, many trees and shrubs suffered in last years' excessive rainfall, and it is likely that some will not have survived. Most trees and shrubs begin to leaf out in April, so damage should soon be apparent. - Don't be worried that your crapemyrtle hasn't shown signs of life. Often, the first leaves are not seen until the end of April, or even May. The short period of cold we experienced this winter is unlikely to have damaged any but the most recently planted crapemyrtles. | |

Ramblin' through Dave's garden blog |
| Magnolias, and a few cherries The cheery, delicate blossoms of flowering cherries are everywhere. Visitors flock to area parks and gardens that feature the spring blooms, but a ride through any local neighborhood will display dozens, and even hundreds of the showy trees. The primary attraction is the white flowered ‘Yoshino’, though later in the blooming cycle these are joined by the double pink pompoms of ‘Kwanzan’. Both are fine trees, as are other similar cherries, though many spread a bit too wide, and dense shade and shallow roots deny the possibility of lawn beneath mature trees. There are two cherries in this garden, the early flowering and more compact growing ‘Okame’ and a pink flowered cherry with pendulous branching that has been battered and bruised by neighboring trees that toppled over in storms to break large sections from this sad tree. | |
