WATERING WINTER GREEN PLANTSRemember that plants that are always green will evaporate water during fall and winter. Poor hydration of their tissues may end up drying out, rather than freezing during the winter. It is very important when growing these plants in containers, which we water all year round.
WHITENING Trunks of trees and shrubsWhitening of trunks of trees and shrubs, especially those sensitive to low temperatures, is an important treatment protecting trees and shrubs from freezing. Painting the trunk white will protect it against significant heating during sunny weather during the day and significant drops in temperature at night.Rapid temperature drops may contribute to the formation of frost strips on the trunks.
WE SHAKE SNOW FROM TREES AND BUSHESWe remove snow caps from coniferous and columnar coniferous trees and shrubs. This will protect them from breaking off the shoots under the weight of the snow. It is a good idea to tie or put bands on coniferous trees and shrubs of columnar or conical shape before the onset of heavy snowfall.
