Michael Bald, of Royalton, Vt., prunes crabapple and plum trees at King Arthur Baking Company in Norwich, Vt., on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022. Bald’s business Got Weeds? is primarily focused on helping landowners to control invasive species, but he also prunes trees from February through April. “This is a gorgeous pollinator,” he said of the tree, which has helped in regrowing native plants in the drainage areas around King Arthur’s parking lot after Bald removed invasive wild parsnips.
