Trees and Shrubs
	Maintenance	Fall pruning can be done, just remember as you prune you are removing next years flower buds resulting in less blooms next spring. Prune evergreen hedges anywhere from an inch to 4 inches. Use your judgment on how much you would like to remove. In doing so they will be able to shed the snow better and will not have an irregular shape in the spring from the weight of the snow. Dispose of any leaves that are falling to reduce the event of disease infection in the spring. Apply Wilt Pruf plant protector to your broadleaf evergreen trees and shrubs to help reduce moisture loss over the winter months.
	Insect	Hemlock wooly adelgid is active and can be treated with Bonide’s All Seasons Oil.
	Disease	Although most diseases are finished doing their damage apply Bonide’s Infuse so long as the ground isn’t frozen, as a jump start for preventing infection in the spring. Remove apples, pears, plums, etc from the ground which have brown rot on them to prevent infection for next year. Tar spot on maple is evident and can be reduced by destroying the leaves after they fall to decrease the fungus from over wintering.

Flower/Vegetable Garden
		Cut back any perennials that have passed and turned yellow. Using 2-3 inches of Mulch around borders of gardens and landscapes will help suppress weed growth and will help with water retention. For the winter months it will help maintain a consistent soil temperature.

Pond Care
		Use a Spring/Fall food like Tetra PondCare Spring & Autumn Floating Pond Sticks with low protein and a high carbohydrate formulation for water temps from 42-70 degrees when feeding fish. This is a good time to do a partial (50%) water change reducing toxic gases and increase oxygen levels, if you chose to do so make sure to balance your pH levels. Keep your filters running to remove particles, convert ammonia, and add oxygen to the water Use Autumn Prep Microbe-Lift to help with any leaves or debris you were unable to get to which sunk to the bottom of the pond. Cut back hardy marginals and place them at the bottom of the pond to over winter.
