Redbud, Rose of Sharon, and Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

Redbud: Plant now in ground; mulch 12 inches out from trunk with cypress mulch.

Rose of Sharon: Prune now to control width and encourage upright form.

Emerald Green Arborvitae: “Sparse” suggests interior shading. Light shearing in early spring can stimulate denser growth. Avoid cutting into bare wood.
