1 hour | Saturday, 20 December 2025

With Christmas just days away and temperatures climbing into the 80s, Adam and Amber talk through what the warm, unpredictable weather means for your landscape right now. They explain why it’s best to leave green plants alone, when to wait on cutting back perennials, shrubs, and roses, and how mistimed pruning can actually cause more damage once colder weather returns.The conversation also covers tree planting season, why winter is ideal for getting trees established, and how proper placement can save homeowners years of problems. Adam walks through common mistakes—planting too close to houses, utilities, pools, and power lines—and why a little planning now makes all the difference later.They wrap up with last-minute Christmas gift ideas from the nursery, including trees as long-term gifts, houseplants, outdoor décor, and easy grab-and-go options for holiday gatherings, all while keeping things light, seasonal, and very West Texas.
