This week is your last opportunity to trim evergreen shrubs such as Boxwood, Holly and Pittosporum.  If you don’t trim them now you will need to wait until next season.  If you trim too late in the season, new growth can be damaged during cooler winter months.  Now is also the time to fertilize your perennials.  This will help them become stronger plants next season.  To learn more about this landscaping tip or Wilmington Real Estate contact me at 910-431-9395.
