I have just moved in to a home with mature landscaping but no fruit trees. I would like to plant as many fruit and nut trees as I can. Is there any advantage to planting them in the fall or will spring planting be just as good?

Asked by: Marcia from Orem

When can you plant tulips in the fall here? I was told you have to wait until it is colder. Can I plant now or do I need to wait?

When should I prune butterfly bushes? Fall or Spring, I have heard both. Also, can they floursih in partial shade?

I planted an ornamental grass (ribbon grass) for the first time this year. Should I cut it back in the Fall? Does it need any special care?

Asked by: Lisa from Cedar Hills

What should I do to prepare my perennials for winter? Do they need to be cut back - if so, how much? When is the best time to divide them - the fall or spring?
