Limit 12

Trees and shrubs have been under massive stress for two +years.  Now is the time of year to do some major root work to help them recover.  Woody plants do most of their root work after the leaves come off the trees and before the deep freezes of Jan-Feb.  Help them recover by finding out what they need and how to work within their root systems.  No limit of numbers – we need to get this information out to people!!!
