Replanting trees from the bush is chancey “These trees have a dif- ficult time adapting to their new surroundings,” says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Imagine yourself hungry, thirsty, and in a strange windy place. That is the situation trees transplanted from hedgerows. the bush, or woodlots, to gardens find themselves in. The yellow-flowered Princess Anne and the white-flowered Winter Carnival are by far the most popular Chrysanthemums available. “Don’t overlook that popular favorite â€" the potted plant,” advises Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist D.M.

Home gardeners who planted or plan to plant fruit trees should remember that they all require regular insect and disease spray programs beginning in early spring, says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, R.A. Fleming. “Besides making the fruit unsightly, the in- sects and diseases in un- sprayed garden fruits sometimes spread to nearby commercial orchards and can cause serious financial loss.” Spray fruit trees early Although most trees naturally grow in a bush or heavily wooded situation where they are protected from the wind, many homeowners plant their freshly dug trees in the middle of lawns where they are not. “However, as the trees acclimatize, their ap- pearance and growth become more normal. The homeowner should go to a nursery for a tree that is almost sure to thrive, if handled properly. Increased evaporation (due to exposed leaf sur- faces) and other wind damages result. “The leaves of trees that survive are usually rough and dark in the first year," says Mr. Hughes. “After the tree is tran- splanted, its top growth should be pruned back about one-third. “However, the tree may still die because its tap roots had not been cut a year or so ahead as they would have been in most nurseries." These, along with most other potted plants, last if they are given proper at- tention. Ask your florist or nurseryman for printed care instructions to give along with the plant. “First of all, they frequently do not have enough roots. To prevent this, the homeowner should dig his tree carefully to retain most of the roots. horticulturist, J.K. Hughes “He should also be sure they have a large soil ball around them.
