Butts County Agent |***' i ten called bor comes a bit un danJ age to the leaves. Naturally this detracts from the beauty of the plant. There is a way, however, to remedy this condition and it involves pruning away the top .of the plant completely. This forces new leaves to emerge from ground level and once again the plants will appear a healthy green. To prevent injury to the new shoots that emerge normally, prune off the old top early in the season. By early we mean early or late February, depending on the part of the state in which you live. A rotary lawnmower can be used to more easily accomplish this type of pruning. Strawbrry Planting Time If you have been thinking about transplanting strawberries, you’re thinking timely thoughts . . . if you live in North Georgia. Late February is a good time to transplant strawberries in the northern half of the state. Rec ommended varieties for this area include: Dixieland, Pocahantas, Floria 90, Blakemore, Albritton and Tennessee Beauty. For the mountain area, two additional one are Empire and Catskill. Remember to get virus-free plants and avoid problems in strawberry transplanting. Hollies But No Berries? Ever wonder why some hollies never produce berries? There are several reasons for the lack of berry production on hollies. It should be noted that the plants must produce flowers in order to produce fruit. These flowers, upon pollination, form the ber ries. All hollies have the capacity to produce flowers. However, each plant produces either all male flowers or all female flow ers. Only those plants which pro duce female flowers will ever bear fruit. So, if you have a holly which never produces berries, there is a good possibility it’s a male plant. If you have a female holly plant that fruits sparsely, you likely don’t have a male plant nearby to pollinate the flowers. Different kinds of hollies often flower at slightly different times. Therefore, to get the best pol lination, you need a male plant flowering nearby at the same time in the spring that female plants are in flower. In addition, holly plants may fail to produce berries only in certain years. This is quite often due to winter injury to the flower buds during the winter or early spring. This occurs quite often on the popular Burford holly that blooms quite early. Jim Morrison Named Top Conservationist Washington, D. C. James Morrison, Jr. of Atlanta, Georgia has been named national Conser vationist of the Year by the 2Vz million member National Wild life Federation. Morrison, now with the U. S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, was selected by the Federation for his fearless battle against channelization of Georgia streams while Chief of the Georgia Fish and Game Department’s Informa tion Section from 1963-1970. His relentless campaign to warn Georgia citizens about the destruction of fish and wildlife resulting from channelization reached a high point in the furor over the infamous Aicovy project. Morrison finally lost his job for refusing to back down in face of severe political and eco nomic pressures. But as a result of his efforts, the citizens of Georgia and neighboring states were alerted to the tremendous environmental destruction of stream channelization. Announcing the award, Federa tion Executive Director Thomas L. Kimball said, “By presenting him with our highest national award, the Federation honors Jim Morrison and simultaneously pays tribute to all Americans who have put the cause of con servation above their own com fort and security.” The award will be presented March 6 at the National Conser vation Achievement Awards ban quet in conjunction with the Federation’s 35th annual meeting at the Portland Hilton, Portland, Oregon.
