This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse today 3/23 and tomorrow 3/24. They will be doing their regular maintenance work and possibly some trimming of shrubs where needed.

We have heard from several residents that their Yaupon Hollies look dead. It seems this winter was particularly hard on certain shrubs, but the Yaupons should revive with the warmer weather. We recommend waiting a month or two to see how any affected plants do.
