JEANNE llEIIWALDT December 2011 was shaping up to be the driest on record in West- ern Washington. Although we have received rain recently, according to Mary Robson, retired WSU Area Ex- tension Agent and noted author, if we enjoy relatively dry soils in Janu- ary, there are plenty of things we can plant. Wet, saturated ground can't be used for planting, cultivating, or digging, but at the moment many gar- dens have damp but not soggy soil. If the soil in your garden isn't saturated and soppy, January's a fine month to transplant trees and shrubs, especially for moving deciduous shrubs and trees. These plants are now dormant and winter transplant- ing gives them some time for roots to become established before leaf growth starts. Plants in nursery containers can be selected and planted into the garden almost any time. Especially for new gardeners, planting can be tricky. For more information on planting and transplanting refer to FS047E "Planting Trees and Shrubs in the Landscape." This helpful bulletin includes photos of the best way to install plants from containers, includ- ing techniques for clipping roots to prevent constriction once the plant begins to grow. It can be found at pubs.Wsu.edu and is offered as a free PDF download. Use the search box and type in the publication number listed above. Proper planting technique can mean the difference between life and death for a plant. Sometimes poor growth on trees and shrubs results from roots that grew in circles at the bottom of containers. If these are planted just as they grew in the con- tainer, the plant can actually strangle from root problems as growth com- mences. One example we've seen brought into our offices is a dead pine, over 12 years old. It grew to about six feet tall and never developed a healthy root system. The roots were so contorted that the plant still fit into a one-gal- lon can, exactly as it was when plant- ed. Plants are tough and can survive a lot of difl iculties, but kinked roots can kill. T,ase out circling roots and trim off th worst ones, allowing the plant to produce new healthy roots. Check catalogs now to order fruit trees for early spring planting. Be sure to identify types that will ripen in western Washington's cool summer climate Some very familiar apples such as Red Dehcmus and Granny Smith will not produce good fruit here. Less well-known types such as Akane, Chehalis, and Williams Pride grow and fruit nicely. If you hove plant or insect ques- tions please contact a WSU Master Gardener on Mondays between noon and 3 pm at 427-9670 Ext. 687. Mark your calendars now for the 2012 Country L: ving workshops.
