• Rejuvenate heat-stressed geraniums and begonias for the fall season by lightly pruning, fertilizing, and watering.
• Prune out dead or diseased wood from trees and shrubs. Hold off on major pruning until midwinter. Pruning now may stimulate tender new growth prior to frost.
• Remove weak, unproductive growth and old seed heads from crape myrtles and roses to stimulate new growth for fall beauty.
