This comprehensive guide teaches you how to perform a professional “scratch test,” identifies the signs of terminal freeze shock in palms and oaks, and explains why you should wait to prune until the last frost has passed. Don’t make an expensive mistake—learn exactly how to assess your landscape’s health before the spring storm season arrives.
