Wisconsin Gardener’s Tips for October 2022
Perennials
After your plants have turned dry and brown it is time to cut them back. Be careful not to cut them too soon though. In order to prepare for winter, the roots will reabsorb all of the nutrients from the stems.
Perennial plants with woody stems, like Russian Sage, should not be cut all the way to the ground. Some less hardy species like to be tucked in with a layer of insulation like mulch to help them survive the winter.
Shrubs
Some shrubs should be pruned to the desired shape in the fall.
While you are out doing fall leaf clean-up cut away old branches and cut to the desired shape.
Stop into the nursery for more information on which shrubs can be pruned now.
Trees
Most deciduous trees can be pruned now and into early winter. When pruning make sure there are no areas where debris can accumulate as this can cause the tree to rot.
Not sure how to prune? No problem. Stop by the garden center and schedule an appointment for our pruning services.
Lawn
Summer is coming to end, and it is time to put away the lawn mower. Before doing so, we highly recommend winterizing your rig. If any gas is left in the tank add a winterizer so it stays fresh through the winter. It would also be a good time to scrape any leftover debris from the bottom of the mower deck.
If your lawn needs a little boost, applying a fertilizing treatment this fall will help. If you are not already on our list, stop in today and find out how you can be added.

Wisconsin Gardener’s Tips for September 2022
Perennials
If you have not already, fertilize your plants to give them the best chance of surviving the winter months. With the hotter months behind us, regular watering should not be needed unless temperatures rise above 80.
Shrubs
When planting anytime from now until the ground freezes, it is extremely important to break up larger chunks of dirt. Otherwise, air pockets can form near the root system during the planting process. Although seemingly harmless, these pockets can fill up with water that will eventually freeze and effectively kill the plant.
Trees
We at Heritage Hill Nursery Inc., recommend planting new trees in fall. The cooler temperatures are better for the plant and make upkeep much easier for the homeowner. When planting be sure to plant high enough, so root flare is exposed and keep mulch away from the trunk. If the tree is planted too low, it can develop “Stem Girdling” roots which acts as a noose around the trunk and can suffocate the tree. These roots also make the tree much more susceptible to being blown over at the base by wind.
Lawn
In cooler climates such as Wisconsin, late summer to early fall is a suitable time to consider detaching your lawn. Thatch is a built-up layer of grass clipping, twigs, and other waste. A thick thatch layer prevents water, fertilizer, and herbicide from reaching the soil, and when water or chemicals are applied they simply run-off. If your lawn is healthy and the thatch layer is under 1”, dethatching will probably not be necessary.
However, if the layer is over 1”, to safeguard for a healthier lawn next year, dethatching would be recommended.
After thatching, overseeding is typically the next step to ensure the best results.
