Here Comes Spring

Blue Ice Arizona Cypress
Heatherwood SW Conifer Corner

I visualize this beautiful Arizona Cypress holding out its arms (branches) welcoming the upcoming spring. We have just three weeks until the first official day of spring. With the recent nice weather, we have made good progress in our late winter/early spring garden preparation. The ornamental grasses, perennials, and several shrubs have been trimmed back. Next week I will start pruning the Japanese maples.

Heatherwood’s southwest corner, where this Arizona Cypress is located, is our next major project. Next week we will start to carve out a meandering path, add berms, and place rocks to prepare the area for spring planting. Our target is to create a special place to enjoy specimen conifers and Japanese maples.

Spring is just around the corner!
