HOW TO PRUNE EVERGREENS 
The pruning and trimming of ever¬ 
greens is simple, easy and vitally important 
to many kinds if they are to look their 
best and serve their intended purposes. 
All evergreens may be pruned and all 
may be improved by it BUT the right 
wood must be cut and the cutting must be 
done at the right time. 
Evergreens fall into three groups, based 
on the time and method cf cutting, as fol¬ 
lows: 
Group I—Junipers, Cedars and Arbovifae 
May be cut at any time. Preferred time 
April to mid-August. Trim anywhere, 
preferably in younger wood. Use shears 
or hedge shears on compact “definitely 
formed’’ specimens and knife or hand 
si ears on others. 
Group II—The Pines 
Pines (except in occasional cases where 
older wood must be taken out) are pruned 
only in late spring when the new shoots 
(or “candles”) have made most of their 
growth, but before the needle “buds” 
along the sides of the new shoot have 
started to elongate. At this time the 
“candles” may be cut off at any desired 
lengtn and new buds for the follow’ing 
season’s growth will be formed at the cut 
end. Mughos may be kept symmetrically 
“ill bounds” with this annual pruning. 
Group III—Spruce, Fir, Yew, Hemlock 
Preferred pruning consist of heading 
back one year shoots,—cutting to one of 
the lateral buds (along side of new shoot). 
If older wood must be removed, cut back 
to another shoot or branch. Best time is 
late in dormant period, as in March or 
April. 
No paint is needed on ordinary ever¬ 
green pruning wounds. 
If “leaders” are broken or fail to de¬ 
velop, bend the nearest shoot into the po¬ 
sition the leader should occupy and tie 
in place to a bamboo or similar light 
stick. After a month or two the brace may 
be removed.

HOW TO PLANT EVERGREENS 
The hole for planting an evergreen should be at least 
one foot larger than the ball of earth and deep enough 
to allow placing the tree slightly deeper than it stood 
in the nursery. Place the tree in the hole, loosen and 
pull back the burlap covering and fill the hole three- 
quarters full of good soil. Firm it well. Fill once or 
twice with water and allow it to soak into the ground 
before putting on any more soil. A slight basin or de¬ 
pression should be left to facilitate later waterings. 
Water evergreens freely throughout the summer. A 
mulch of straw or peat will prove highly beneficial.
