THINGS TO DO THIS MONTH
Outdoor: The situation here is the same as it was last month. Leave trees in winter for protection and water as needed. Do not fertilize. Deciduous trees and pines may be wired. If your trees can be moved, you may bring them indoors for up to eight hours for work. Be aware of possible flooding in in-ground cold frames.
Indoor: Sunlight has been scarce lately, so be sure to give indoor trees as much light as possible. Trees at windowsills could use some supplemental artificial light to compensate for the cloudy weather. Check the soil moisture daily and water as needed. Trees that are putting out strong new growth can be fertilized. Provide extra humidity with a humidifier, vaporizer, pebble tray, or other device.
