Remodel Your Garden Around
Existing Trees

Remodel Your Garden Around
Existing Trees
Winter is the time to plan re-
modelling the garden starting with
existing trees.
Gardens can stand a face-lifting
Job every 10 to 10 years, says Don
Cantwell, District Manager of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Co. Take an
inventory OF trees and shrubs.
Then decide which should remain,
which should be moved, which
scrawny shrubs should go.
Use deciduous trees for bold,
accent strokes and seasonal eff
fects. Let evergreens complement
them and give winter color. Then
weave favorite flower and other
small paintings around them in an
arrangement that will give the
garden a new look, a remodeled
effect
Trees that years ago gave dap
pied, pleasant shade may have be-
come so thick and tall that nothing
will grow beneath them now. That
can be remedied. Expert pruning
will do wonders, lowering height
and opening them up again.
A hedge may be interfering with
a pretty dogwood. Sacrifice the
hedge. If there is an oak or apple
in the corner, group low-growing,
acid-loving laurel. azalea and an
dromeda beneath.
Desirable conifers will screen
out the house next door. Place a
gray birch just in front of them for
contrast. With deciduous leaves
gone. 1t is easy to see where ever
greens will give the most effective
color. They should be seen when
you look out the picture window OF
living or dining room.
Tall rhododendr0ns can be low
cred severely by pruning. they'll
come back. Prune arborvitae lit
tie every year IL you want II To
serve as a hedge. Otherwise If you
stop It's upward growth after some
years 1t will become ball of foli-
age on top. leggy below. :
Winter pruning Is also advise
able to restore symmetry to trees.
Suckers should be removed from
maple. poplar and apple. Half the
job OF garden remodeling is in tree
effects. A nondescript tree can be
made one of beauty by pruning and
accenting it's surroundings.
Mess Does Tree No Harm
Moss growing on tree trunks is
more noticeable in winter than IN
summer. And there's moss on trees
this winter because OF moisture
last year. saws Don Cantwell, Dis
trict Manager OF the Bartlett Tree
Expert Co.
Moss. which includes complex
of lichens and algae. grows on the
north side of trunks. il does the
tree no harm. growing only on the
outer bark. In fact. gsoss Is indica-
tive of clean air. II does not thrive
on trees where srnog, smoke and
exhaust fumes pollute the air.
