Seasonal Tips

Apply (or re-apply) Super Repellent if deer, rabbits or woodchucks might pose a problem. All-natural, can be sprayed year-round (when temps are above freezing) on all shrubs, flowers & edible crops. Exclusively at Sollecito’s, in convenient spray bottle and economical concentrate. Stock up and be ready when those tantalizingly tasty tender shoots appear in spring.

Protect tree trunks from nibbling critters and rubbing bucks. We have easy-to-install Black Mesh Tree Trunk Protectors.

Apply All-Natural Neptune’s Harvest Organic Fish & Seaweed organic liquid fertilizer through the snow. Natural fish & seaweed oils hold it in place, keeping it available to roots as they need it. For all outdoor and indoor plants.

Prevent winter damage with a spray of WiltPruf anti-transpirant on thin-branched Japanese Maples and broad-leafed evergreens such as boxwood.

Clip seasonally-damaged branches with Swiss-made Felco professional pruners. Leave a clean cut, not a tear. Do not apply anything to the cut surface. Remove larger branches with a handy and efficient Folding Pruning Saw.

Take a hard look through your windows. Do you like what you see? Maybe you need an attractive screen. Consider filling that gaping hole with an evergreen. We’ll have beautiful conifers in spring.

Perhaps you would benefit from the giddy anticipation of a flowering tree or shrub, one that will turn even more gorgeous colors in autumn. Who doesn’t enjoy giddy anticipation?

How about a windbreak?

Or some welcome shade for a sunny window, deck or patio.
