Trees, Shrubs and Roses
If there is a lot of rain, tree planting must be put on hold if the ground is very wet. Rose bushes can be shortened in exposed cold localities to prevent wind-rocking, and fully pruned in mild areas. Control grass and weeds around the base of young trees to encourage better growth. Old carpet is good for this purpose. Casoron G granules can be applied to kill existing weeds and prevent weed seed germination. It is very useful on young hedges but can only be applied to deciduous kinds.
