Getting a Jump on the Growing Season

The growing season, in the desert southwest, can start as early as March in warmer years. Getting landscape trees off to a vigorous start includes pruning to remove winter or freeze damaged branches and initiating an irrigation/fertilizer program. There are several articles on our website, www.aridzonetrees.com, that address these topics in considerable detail (see links below).

Enjoy the spring, it rarely lasts long in our deserts.
