December: Dormant Period Care December is the perfect time to transplant small trees and shrubs while they are dormant. Water plants at least 24 hours before a freeze to enhance cold tolerance. Prune dormant fruit and ornamental trees, and mow and fertilize ryegrass. Place holiday plants in bright, cool areas to prolong their blooms, and use fallen leaves as mulch or compost. December is all about protecting and preparing your landscape for the next growing season.
