Growing-season prescribed fire can promote viable Growing-season prescribed fire can promote viable wiregrass seed production, increase wildflower abundance, and control hardwoods. 🔥For sites that have already seen winter burns, evaluate the stands for desired fire effects. If you are not satisfied with the results, you may consider a shift in the timing of your burning. Watch this video to hear why Jerome Murphy did so!P.S.
