Standout foliage keeps
winter gardens lively
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
Even in December when few flowers bloom, certain plants can make our landscapes shine with color, texture and structure.
Let’s take a closer look at some standout plants whose leaves provide year-round beauty in the garden.
I’ve found that some of the most dependable winter color comes from the foliage itself. Night Light Chamaecyparis is a compact, false cypress that practically glows with color in the landscape.

Winter is right time
to plant fruit trees
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
As we approach the new year, I find myself thinking about fresh starts in the garden.
While many people see winter as a time of rest for their landscape, here in the South, it’s actually one of the best seasons to plant fruit trees. Cooler temperatures, increased rainfall and dormant plant growth all work in our favor. New trees get a much easier start, with less stress and better conditions to settle in and build strong roots before spring growth kicks in.

Christmas in bloom
By Felder Rushing
My Christmas cactus finally came into bloom – right on time, luckily, with no help from me.
One of the easiest garden arguments, other than the right folk name for Philadelphus (mock orange or English dogwood) and how to pronounce pecan, is over whether to call these holiday favorites Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus.
