Section Two The Canadian Statesman Rnwmanville, June 19.1985 9 yf Belle OH Cjflrdenin.^ Students Graduate from Business Skills Update Course It's Time to Prune Yes, this is the best time of the year to prune your evergreens, evergreens, both the broadleaf and the needle plants. The upright pyramid should be kept trimmed from the first year it is planted. You will probably notice that most of the growth is at the top, which is understandable since the sap always goes up, so the highest concentration of sap is at the top, which is the case with all trees and plants. So, to keep the pyramids in shape they should be pruned heavier at the top or they will lose r ■ (SStYAWcY Bigger Pictures Plus Fast Accurate Service FREE! 5x7 Enlargement with every C41-11Ù, 126-135 film processed. .

All the pyramids can be trimmed heavily now and then kept in shape during the summer with a little touch-up pruning. The spreading evergreens must also be pruned from the year they are planted. They can be pruned back quite heavily since they will grow rapidly. There are two ways to prune them, either use a hedge shears and trim them all around or selective pruning by pruning out tips of branches in which case they will keep their natural shape much better. Global types are the easiest to prune. Just take the hedge shears and round them off, especially the cedars and yews. The exception to this rule is the Mugho Pine, it will have grown new shoots that resemble candels. They should be cut in half or whatever whatever way to make them look good. After the pruning of the; pine, they will form two or' three buds where the cut has been made which will be the new "Candles" for next year, and in this way they will fill out and become nice and full. The broadleafed evergreens are the easiest to prune, just cut back some of the new growth to where you would like the plant to grow and they will fill in nicely. They can also be trimmed into a global form or squared off like a box, whichever will suit the landscape. landscape. This week you should spray your evergreens with a systemic spray, which will go into the sap stream and stay there, especially the pines need spraying to keep caterpillars caterpillars out. A lot of cedar hedges are turning a bit brown, this could be caused by the red spider mite, and again a good systemic insecticide insecticide will clean up the insects, at the same time give them a I AM PLEASED TO BE PART OF ARTISTIC HAIR DESIGNERS I invite all my customers and friends to visit me at the new location.

This will stimulate stimulate the new growth to start and will green up the color of the hedge. This material can be sprayed right on the foliage but should be done at night so no burn will occur. It can be ' repeated at least three to four times during the summer and will really get them off to a good start. With the warm weather setting setting in now, watering is an important part of gardening for the summer. Most people don't water properly. Often you can see them standing with a hose and giving a fine spray to all the plants, but only doing it for a few minutes. This is actually worse than not watering at all, since all you do is wet the top. But where the water is needed, which is at the root system, will not get close to it. The best way to water is to use a soaker hose or a sprinkler and leave it on at one spot for at least an hour, so that the soil will become saturated. Until next week, happy gardening. Natural Resources By David Pridham, Senior Forests Technician The 1985 tree planting season season completed in the Lindsay district on May 10 with the planting of 453,375 trees on 280 hectares. The major species planted were white pine, red pine, white spruce, Norway spruce, and European larch. More than 414,000 of these trees were planted on 38 private private properties under 'Woodlands 'Woodlands Improvement Act' (W.I.A.) agreements. Under these agreements, the landowner pays for the trees (approx. $50. per hectare) hectare) and ensures that the planted areas are protected from grazing livestock, fire, and insects. The ministry is responsible for site preparation, preparation, tree planting, and ensuring ensuring the establishment of the young plantation. Landowners taking advantage advantage of the W.I.A. program wish to increase the value of their property by using their idle land to obtain the best return possible on their investment. investment. Even when a forest crop will not be harvested in the landowner's lifetime, a forest plantation will enhance property value by providing wildlife habitat, site protection protection from wind and water erosion, erosion, improving water quality within the watershed, and increasing aesthetic appeal. A telephone call to the Lindsay Lindsay district will initiate a property property inspection with a land- owner interested in a potential agreement for his or her property. property. If a property does not meet with ministry requirements requirements (for example, a minimum minimum area of two hectares for planting), or if the landowner wishes to plant the area himself, himself, ministry staff can assist with soil testing, advice on species selection, and provide helpful hints on planting and necessary follow-up. This service service is free and involves no obligation on the part of the landowner. ^ MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY midvvax miUWAYg J| --- . mm ( V' ' - EEHL MIDWAY MOTORS * I Q § I- JÜ iA ' >H - § ■Y----,.. _ „ I i Home of the Fuel Economy Car MIDWAY MOTORS Q 13(J0 Dundas St. E..
