| Eastern Redbud |

I have an Eastern Redbud which produces multiple seedlings in the summer. This year I decided to save a few of these trees...which are only a few inches tall. I put them in seperate gallon sized pots with nice, fertile soil. They are doing very well and growing new leaves often. I live in Ohio and we tend to have crazy weather, so who knows what this year will bring! I was wondering how I should handle these trees through the winter and when I should put them in the ground. I am afraid to transplant them too soon because I don't want them to freeze and die this winter but I also don't want their roots to be confined to the pot! Does anyone know how fast the roots grow or how long they might be able to withstand being potted? Would it be best to move them to larger pots and keep them in the garage by a window for winter or just put them in the ground? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!!

For easy maintenance, shrubs are next best after trees. Shrubs can be used in small gardens to fill space in the same way that trees can be used in large gardens. Many of them are fast-growing and quickly fill a considerable area. A piece of ground planted with shrubs has a much lower maintenance requirement than a similar area of lawn. Therefore, the conversion of part of the garden area to accommodate shrubs reduces effort.
Many shrubs clothe themselves with foliage down to ground level, which increases their competitive ability over non-woody weeds. A distinct advantage in favour of woody plants in general, and shrubs in particular, is their immunity to the chemical weedkiller, Simazine. Although not all shrubs are immune, the majority are. |

The King palm is said to have a "crown" which is the smooth green to purplish-brown portion of the trunk that starts 3 feet below the leaves. This solitary trunk palm grows to 60 feet tall and displays arching feather leaves. The pinkish flowers are clustered on pendulous inflorescences which grow from the base of the crownshaft. Will grow in full sun to part shade with occasional summer watering. It stabilizes soil erosion and is wind tolerant. Hardy to 28°F. |

Distinguished from other lavenders by its long thin leaves, Lavandula angustifolia forms a much branched shrub about 2-3 feet tall with mid-summer blooming stalks of pale lavender-blue flowers reaching 1-2 feet above the foliage. It does best in the full sun and has low water needs. This is the hardiest of all lavenders and it can tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees F |

Introduction
Shrubs are important components of both rural and urban areas. They provide beauty, diversity, wind protection, privacy, homes for wildlife and even a source of human food.
Backyards, gardens, shelterbelts, woodlots, wildlife areas, and fence rows are among the areas that could beneflt from shrub plantings. Species selection and planting designs vary with the landowner's tastes and objectives. Yet, there are certain guidelines to remember. |

A tree may need pruning for a variety of reasons:
· To remove diseased or storm-damaged branches
· To thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation
· To reduce the height of a tree
· To remove obstructing lower branches
· To shape a tree for design purposes
