  • It is still a good time to take evergreen and hardwood cuttings. Dip them in a rooting hormone before putting the in pots filled with rooting media and place in a coldframe for the winter. Roots should form by spring.
  • Monitor trees for winter damage and disease. Prune to healthy wood using proper pruning techniques.
  • There is still time to apply mulch. 2-3 inches is sufficient in most cases.
  • Keep an eye on cool weather weeds, like shotweed. Mulching as suggested above would help control winter weeds as would light cultivation of the soil surface with appropriate cultivating tools.
