Rabbit Damage: What to do next
A few weeks ago, Landscape Garden Centers’ experts showed you how to spot rabbit damage on your plants and trees. Join us as we talk about how to rescue your rabbit damaged plants (if possible). Now that you’ve identified the areas damaged by the rabbits, here’s what to do next.
If the majority of the plant still looks undamaged, but you have some areas to prune
back, take your pruner and cut the damaged branches off at an angle.Be sure to cut back to the next node on the branch to encourage new growth.
If the entire plant has been damaged, you can either wait to see how it comes back for
the next couple of seasons, or go ahead and cut back/remove all of the dead and see if
any new growth happens.If it is a woody plant, you may need a saw to cut the branches.
If there is no salvaging the plant that has been eaten, stop in and we can help you pick out a new plant
We will even install the new plant and remove the dead one as an additional service.
