Checklist by the California Association of Nurserymen
Lawn areas compacted should be coring worked and enriched with loam or steer manure. Deciduous magnolias needing ce oes should be done now. An inch diameter sections should be painted with sealing compound. Clip hedges regularly for fullness. Privet forms best when clipped tapering top to bottom. A large supply of annual bedding plants is available for spring and early summer blooms. Watch for black aphids on new camellia growth and spray the tender curled leaves.
