Hold off on those pruning shears! ✂️❄️
Lately we’ve all seen the frost damage in our yards after these recent cold snaps. It’s tempting to want to clean up those brown leaves right away, but your plants actually need that "ugly" layer right now!
Why wait?
• Built-in Insulation: Those dead-looking leaves act as a thermal blanket for the healthy "heart" of the plant.
• Protection from Round 2: Pruning now exposes fresh tissue. If we get another freeze, it could be fatal for the plant.
• Nature’s Recovery: It’s often impossible to tell what’s truly dead until the spring flush begins.
The Citruscapes Strategy: Wait for the consistent Florida warmth before you cut. Your patience will be rewarded with a much fuller, healthier garden this spring! 🌿
