April

Things to expect:

Thrips cause scarred, distorted leaves - but spraying is not practical.
Spider Mites still troublesome on many plants. Wooly Aphids on Ash trees - moldy looking pests that cause leaves to curl downward. Mildew on grapes. Migration of insects into landscaping.

Things to do:

Plant citrus trees.

Don’t let weeds goto seed - mow off seed heads.

Dethatch Bermuda lawns by close mowing (scalping).

Plant new summer lawns.

Protect tender bark from sunburn - apply tree paint or wrappings to trunks and limbs.
