Harwood, N.D. - Trudging through ankle-deep snow with a snug black jacket and red scarf hanging loosely around his neck, Neal Holland doesn’t look well-prepared for a tropical vacation.

Readers: With my exit from the Hortiscope column and retirement, I have been asked by many how to get information on horticultural problems.

Hortiscope: Cut your roses back in fall for best results
Q: I have several questions about different plants. I would like to know if I can trim a schefflera plant. I have a nice plant that was given to me for my son’s funeral. The plant sits in my enclosed sunroom by an east window. It is very big, so I’m wondering if I can cut some of it off.
