EVERY customer that walks through our doors seems to have the same issue this year, and understandably so. Plants are crispy critters after this winter's cold snaps. There are a few key things to remember as you look to refresh your yard's former glory.
First - Make sure the bottom of the shrubs do not already have green sprouts at the bottom . If they do not have signs of new growth after this next week or two, its probably time to rip out & replace.
Second - Check the top of each palm to see if there is green there. If so then you got a good chance it's coming back. If not make sure you tug on the center "spears"(The center shoots) and see if they come out or not. If they pull right out they are goners. If they are nice & firm give the palm a few more weeks to see if it doesn't green up once our weather warms up a little more.
Third - If you need to replace palms, trees or shrubs, take pictures & measurements of the areas and we will GLADLY help you design these with new plants that would be more cold tolerant.
