Cut your wood and pile it high.....Soon the white stuff will begin to fly.
Poplar can give a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke....
Apple & cedar will scent your room..........
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom........
Oak logs, if dry and old......keep away the winter's cold.....
But ash or locust, wet or dry..........
you can surely warm your toes and fingers by.

Tree Trimming
Deciduous Trees Maples, oaks, and the like must be pruned while fully dormant, from late fall through early spring.
Pruning deciduous trees in winter allows you to get a full view of which branches require removal.
Winter pruning prevents many diseases and the attack of pests. Pruning in early fall should also be avoided since trees at that time are actively transferring food reserves to their root systems for the next period of dormancy.
Flowering Trees The trimming time for flowering trees depends on when they bloom.
Ideally, trees whose flowers bloom in spring must be trimmed immediately after they bloom.
Trees that bloom in summer or fall should be trimmed during dormancy and before new growth happens.
In Arkansas, the ideal trimming time for flowering trees is in February.
Trimming time also depends on whether flowers bloom on new wood or old wood.
New Wood Trees:
Trees that bloom on new wood or flower from summer to fall must be trimmed in their winter dormancy months.
Examples are crepe myrtles, smoke trees, and panicle hydrangeas.
Old Wood Trees:
Trees that bloom on old wood or flower in early spring should be pruned immediately after they are done with flowering. Such trees are apricot, lilac, dogwood, etc.
Fruit Trees In winter, you can trim various fruit trees like crab apples or hawthorns.
They may be lightly pruned in summer to keep them in shape. However, don’t prune too heavily in summer, as the excessive sunlight will make them susceptible to fire blight or similar diseases.
Evergreen Trees Conifers, spruces, firs, pines, etc., need little pruning, if any.
If you need to prune any of them, late winter to early spring will be ideal.
Some evergreen tree varieties, like yew trees, can be trimmed in mid-summer, as long as you don’t trim them in extremely hot weather.
